Description and Purpose
The Freightliner® Fuel Filter with Water Separator is a high-performance filter designed to remove water and contaminants from diesel fuel. It ensures that only clean fuel reaches the engine, preventing damage to sensitive components such as injectors and fuel pumps. The filter offers efficient filtration, removing particles as small as 10 microns, thus protecting the engine and maintaining fuel system integrity. This part is compatible with various International / Navistar and Freightliner vehicles.
Why Replacement is Important
Over time, the fuel filter can become clogged with water, dirt, and other impurities, leading to decreased engine performance and potential fuel system damage. Replacing the filter ensures proper fuel filtration, which helps prevent rust, corrosion, and fuel injector clogging. Regular replacement of the fuel filter helps maintain engine efficiency, protect critical components, and avoid costly repairs due to fuel contamination.
Impact on Vehicle Performance
The 10-micron filtration ensures that the fuel is free from fine particles and water, which can otherwise affect combustion efficiency and fuel flow. The filter's 1 - 14 thread size, 3.93-inch outside diameter, and 6 1/8-inch length ensure compatibility with a wide range of vehicles, making it an essential part for maintaining fuel system health. By preventing contaminants from entering the fuel system, this filter improves fuel efficiency, enhances engine power, and extends the lifespan of the engine and fuel components.
