Even the smallest amount of water in diesel fuel can damage injection systems and cause costly repairs. This Baldwin fuel water separator filter catches water and contaminants before they reach your engine, keeping your Caterpillar equipment running strong and reliable.

Built for Heavy-Duty Work
This filter is designed for Caterpillar equipment, industrial engines, marine applications, and truck engines that use the Racor 4120 series filtration systems. Whether you're running a dozer on a construction site, powering a generator set, or operating marine equipment, this filter handles the demanding conditions these engines face every day.
Made to Last
Baldwin has been protecting engines for decades, and this fuel water separator is built to handle the harsh realities of industrial and marine work. The robust construction stands up to vibration, temperature swings, and constant exposure to diesel fuel while maintaining effective water separation throughout its service life.
Installation Notes
This is a direct replacement filter that spins on just like the original. Always drain any collected water from the separator bowl before installing a new filter, and prime the system properly to avoid air pockets. Keep a spare filter on hand since water contamination can happen suddenly, especially in marine environments or when fuel quality varies.
