Simon - I have bought one of these famous diesel filter drain screws. I considered the corrosion part of it before I made up my decision. The arguments used in the discussion between me, my selves and I was:
- most aluminium alloys are fairly corrosion resistant against water. With hydrocarbon's present one will see less risk of corrosion. Water will be mixed with diesel every time one will use the car due to movement and flow so the screw will be regularly flushed with diesel...
- no presence of chlorides under normal conditions
- no complex interference from other materials
Some people are very reluctant wrt changing a manufactures original solution - I am not one of them I am more one of them that applaud modifications and get amazed by improvements
In this case I am confident that the modification is safe and one will with regular drain of the filter lead to increased durability of the car since less dirt will reach the PD injectors (and probably be good for non return valves and the tandempump too)
