On the fake Fleetguard front. This is what I got back after sending in another complaint.

Thank you for your concern regarding this issue. We take these matters very seriously. We have conducted a local investigation, but were unable to verify the existence of counterfeit filters at the time. Lacking hard evidence, we could proceed no further. We would be happy to reopen the investigation, if you or your associates find actual counterfeit products and evidence as to where they are manufactured or sold.

Thanks again for your help and cooperation.

I guess photos and the name of the shop is not good enough for these guys, what do they want a undercover sting on camera

Doing a local investigation in the Philippines using a local company guy is like saying send a guy out to go get a bribe a report back with the all's clear.

We obviously know fakes are still being sold. You can't find a real fleetguard for the the 4M40 to save you life.

So if you happen to buy one take a pic of it, the receipt and send it to barry.verdegan*cummins.com or send your complaint about the problem even if you don't have a pic or receipt and name were you got it from. Maybe they will get serious about it like Donaldson did.
