HEAVY DUTY FUEL FILTERS
The fuel filter is often the forgotten filter. Yet the fuel put into diesel and
off-road equipment, more often than not, contains contaminants such as dirt,
rust, scale and water. These impurities can plug fuel injectors and carburetors,
resulting in engine malfunction or deterioration.
These contaminants often originate from dirty and rusty storage tanks, and as
the vehicle ages, from corrosion within the fuel system components. All the more
reason to invest in high-quality WIX fuel filters and to maintain them at
recommended intervals.
It is also good to remember that the primary fuel filter for any diesel engine
should always be a fuel/water separator. All diesel fuel contains some water,
and removing it ensures longer diesel injection system life and productive
engine uptime.
