Description
When you're dealing with commercial trucks or buses that rack up thousands of miles, water contamination in diesel fuel isn't just a problem - it's a disaster waiting to happen. Whether it's from condensation in large fuel tanks, contaminated fuel deliveries, or moisture accumulation during storage, water wreaks havoc on high-pressure injection systems that cost thousands to rebuild. This Baldwin fuel water separator filter removes both water and particles before they can destroy your expensive engine components.
What You're Getting
- Advanced water separation technology that pulls moisture out of diesel fuel before it reaches injection pumps
- High-efficiency filtration media removes particles and contaminants that can score precision injection components
- Integral post seal and sensor port with 1/2-20 thread for water detection systems
- Large 6 25/32 inch length and 4 5/16 inch diameter provide maximum filtration capacity for heavy-duty applications
- 1-14 thread size fits standard commercial fuel system connections
Built for Commercial Operations
This filter is designed for the demanding world of commercial transportation where downtime costs money. Whether you're running a fleet of Blue Bird school buses on daily routes, operating Freightliner trucks for long-haul freight, managing Hino delivery vehicles, or maintaining Peterbilt heavy-haulers, clean fuel delivery is critical. The filter also works with Racor 325 series systems, making it a versatile choice for mixed fleets.
Made to Last
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 constant vibration of commercial vehicle operation. The robust construction handles the pressure cycles and harsh operating conditions these vehicles face daily.
Good to Know
The sensor port thread allows you to monitor water accumulation - critical for fleet maintenance schedules. If you don't need the sensor port, you can use part OP8752 to plug it. Installation follows standard spin-on procedures, but make sure to prime the fuel system properly after replacement to avoid air pockets that cause hard starting or rough running.
