Description
Water in your fuel system is like rust in your toolbox—it'll destroy everything it touches if you let it sit there. This Baldwin fuel water separator filter is your best defense against contaminated diesel that can turn expensive Caterpillar fuel pumps and injectors into scrap metal. When you're running equipment that costs more than most folks' houses, you want every drop of fuel going through your system to be clean and dry.
What You're Getting
- Reverse flow design that extends filter life and improves water separation efficiency
- Compact 5 31/32 inch length fits tight spaces without sacrificing filtration capacity
- 3 9/32 inch diameter provides plenty of surface area for capturing contaminants
- Attached grommet seals properly and won't fall out during installation
- No special tabs or keys needed—spins on just like a standard filter
Built for Tough Jobs
This filter is designed specifically for Caterpillar equipment, the kind of machinery that works in mines, construction sites, and heavy industrial applications where fuel quality can be questionable. From dozers moving dirt to excavators digging foundations, your Caterpillar engine needs clean fuel to deliver the power and reliability you depend on when the job has to get done.
Made to Last
Baldwin has been making filters for decades, and they know what it takes to protect high-pressure fuel systems. The reverse flow design means fuel flows from outside to inside, which keeps the filter media from collapsing under pressure and helps water droplets separate more effectively. The sturdy construction handles the pressure spikes and vibration that come with heavy equipment operation.
Installation Notes
The reverse flow design means this filter works differently than standard filters, but installation is just as easy—no special tools or procedures required. Make sure you're getting the right flow direction when you install it. Always prime the system after changing to avoid air pockets that can cause hard starting or rough running.
