Even the smallest amounts of water cause injection pump wear, fuel system corrosion, and expensive repairs. This Baldwin BF5813 fuel water separator catches that moisture and debris before it reaches your injection system, keeping your engine running clean and strong.

Built for Heavy-Duty Work
This filter is sized for serious diesel applications, measuring 8 13/16 inches long with a 3 11/16 inch diameter to handle higher fuel volumes. Detroit Diesel engines are found in everything from agricultural tractors and combines to construction equipment and generators. Whether you're running a big farm operation or heavy construction work, clean fuel keeps these powerhouses running at peak performance.
Made to Last
Baldwin builds this filter to handle the demanding conditions Detroit Diesel engines face every day. The sturdy housing withstands pressure fluctuations and temperature swings, while the specialized media separates water and captures particles that could damage injection components.
