Filter/Breather, Fuel/Air, 3 Micron, 3/4″NPT, Fuel Refill System

Description

Fuel/Air Filter/Breather 3 Micron for a fuel refill system (3/4″ NPT)

Modern fuel injection systems require fuel be free of both particulate and water contamination. These spin-on fuel filters with heavy-duty construction keep fuel clean and engines running at maximum efficiency. New fuel systems operate at higher pressures (up to 60,000 psi) and tighter tolerances than ever before. Microscopic particles in the fuel, as small as 2-3 microns, can cause abrasive wear severely damaging the fuel injection system and other high pressure engine components.

Diesel is much more than just fuel and performs various support functions to keep the fuel system efficient. As such, the fuel collects a lot of contaminants while performing its duties. Hence, to maintain the proper functioning of the fuel system, the fuel itself must be clean and free of impurities such as dirt, dust, metal particles, water etc. This is where a fuel filter helps. A fuel filter is located in the fuel line to screen out contaminants such as dirt, dust, debris and rust particles from the fuel. A fuel filter protects the critical parts of the engine, by filtering out foreign particles that can potentially damage a fuel injector.
