Description
When your refrigerated trailer starts acting up or your Volvo truck begins running rough, water in the fuel is often the culprit. Condensation forms in fuel tanks, especially during temperature swings, and that moisture wreaks havoc on modern injection systems. This fuel water separator filter is your first line of defense against the moisture that can destroy expensive injectors and fuel pumps, removing both water and debris before they can reach your engine's precision fuel system components.
Key Features
- Advanced water separation technology pulls moisture out of the fuel stream where it causes the most problems
- Large 8 7/8 inch length provides maximum filtration capacity for extended service intervals
- Integral post seal design prevents fuel leaks and contamination entry
- 1/2-20 sensor port thread allows for water detection system connection
- Baldwin has been making filters for decades, and the filter media is designed to trap water and particles while maintaining proper fuel flow
Built for Commercial Duty
This filter is engineered specifically for Thermo King refrigeration units that keep your cargo at the right temperature mile after mile, and Volvo trucks that handle demanding commercial routes. Modern diesel injection systems operate at extremely high pressures with very tight tolerances, making them sensitive to both water contamination and fine particles, and this fuel water separator uses advanced filtration technology that separates water from the fuel stream before it can reach your injection pump and injectors.
Made to Last
The filter housing stands up to temperature swings and engine vibration that commercial vehicles face every day. With its robust 4 11/16 inch outer diameter construction and 1 1/4-12 thread mounting, this filter handles the pressure and vibration of long-haul operations without failing when you need it most.
Installation Notes
This filter spins on using standard 1 1/4-12 threads for a direct replacement installation. Prime the fuel system properly after installation to avoid air pockets that cause rough running. The sensor port can be plugged using OP8752 if your system doesn't use a water detection sensor. Check for water accumulation regularly, especially during periods of high humidity or temperature cycling that can cause condensation in fuel tanks.
