Description
Water in diesel fuel is one of those problems that can ruin your day in a hurry. Even small amounts can cause rough running, power loss, and expensive injection system damage that puts you out of commission during busy times. This Baldwin fuel water separator filter catches water and contaminants before they can reach your Caterpillar's injection pump and injectors, keeping you running smooth when the work needs to get done.

Built for Heavy-Duty Work
Caterpillar equipment operates in some of the toughest conditions around—from construction sites and quarries to logging operations and heavy farm work. This fuel water separator is designed to handle the high fuel flow demands and constant vibration that come with running powerful diesel engines under load. The sensor port lets you keep tabs on water accumulation so you can drain it before it becomes a problem.
Made to Last
Baldwin builds this filter to handle the pressure, temperature swings, and contamination loads that come with real-world equipment operation. The multi-layer filtration media separates water while capturing particles that can damage precision fuel system components. Quality construction means reliable performance through long work cycles and harsh operating conditions.
Good to Know
The included O-ring must be installed on the post for proper sealing—don't skip this step or you'll have fuel leaks. When installing, hand-tighten the filter until the gasket contacts the mounting surface, then turn an additional 3/4 turn. Check the sensor port regularly and drain any accumulated water to keep your fuel system protected.
