Description
When you're running heavy Caterpillar equipment, clean fuel isn't just nice to have—it's what keeps those expensive injection pumps and fuel lines from turning into costly repair bills. Water, dirt, and debris in your fuel system can shut down your operation faster than you'd expect, especially when you're dealing with farm fuel that's been sitting in storage tanks or picked up contaminants during handling.
What You're Getting
- Large 5 3/8-inch diameter design handles high fuel flow demands of heavy equipment
- 12 3/32-inch length provides maximum filtration capacity for long service life
- Integral post seal design prevents fuel leaks and makes installation clean and simple
- 1 3/8-16 thread size matches Caterpillar specifications for secure mounting
- Heavy-duty construction built to handle engine vibration and temperature extremes
Built for Demanding Work
This filter is designed for Caterpillar construction and agricultural equipment that puts in hard hours under tough conditions. Whether you're running an excavator on a job site, operating a Cat loader around the farm, or running road equipment through dusty conditions, this filter keeps your diesel engine running at peak performance when there's work to finish.
Made to Last
Baldwin has been making filters for heavy equipment since before hydraulics were common, and they understand what farm and construction work demands. The robust housing and quality filter media capture contaminants while maintaining proper fuel flow, protecting your engine's sensitive fuel injection components from premature wear and costly downtime.
Installation Notes
This is a spin-on design that threads directly onto your existing fuel filter mount. Apply a thin coat of clean diesel to the gasket before installation, then hand-tighten plus three-quarters turn after the gasket contacts the mounting surface. Always relieve fuel system pressure before removal and have a drain pan ready to catch any spillage.
