Description
When you're running a Detroit Diesel Series 60 engine in heavy trucks, generators, or industrial equipment, clean fuel is absolutely critical for protecting those expensive high-pressure injection components. Water contamination and fine particles can destroy injectors and fuel pumps faster than you'd think, especially with today's tighter tolerances. This Baldwin fuel water separator catches both water and debris before they can reach your injection system, keeping your engine running strong when you need it most.
What You're Getting
- Advanced separation technology that removes water and particles in one pass through the system
- Sensor port with 1/2-20UNF thread allows connection of water-in-fuel warning systems for early detection
- Large 11 5/16 inch length and 4 9/32 inch diameter provide plenty of filtration capacity for demanding applications
- Integral post seal design with required O-ring ensures leak-free operation under pressure
- 1-14 thread size matches Detroit Diesel factory specifications for direct replacement
Built for Heavy-Duty Work
Detroit Diesel Series 60 engines power everything from long-haul trucks and delivery vehicles to standby generators and industrial equipment. Whether you're running cross-country freight, powering emergency systems, or operating heavy machinery, these engines work hard and need clean fuel to maintain their reliability and performance in demanding conditions.
Quality That Holds Up
Baldwin has been making filters for decades, and they know what it takes to handle demanding conditions. The filter media is designed to trap water and particles while maintaining proper fuel flow, and the housing stands up to temperature swings and the vibration that comes with heavy-duty diesel operation.
Installation Notes
This is a direct replacement that threads into your existing filter base using the 1-14 thread. The included O-ring must be installed on the center post for proper sealing - don't skip this step or you'll have fuel leaks. If you don't need the sensor port, you can use plug OP8752 to seal it off. Prime the filter with clean diesel before starting to avoid air in the system.
