Marine Series

The Ultimate Fuel / Water Separators are installed on the suction side of the existing fuel pump and become the primary fuel filter in the fuel system. Can be installed on the pressure side of the pump.

Application Photos

Ultimate Fuel / Water Separator

These systems are designed to be the primary fuel filter. They are installed on the suction side of the diesel engines fuel pump. The centrifugal 3-micron systems will remove free and emulsified water as well as the majority of solid contaminates including: dirt, metal, asphaltenes, bacteria, algae, microbes, silt, soot, sludge, carbon by products, and other solids. The systems uses both centrifugal force and absorption to remove the water and solids from the fuel. The fuel enters the housing and hits a stainless steel baffle which causes the fuel to spin around and around (Centrifugal force); the free water and heavier solids settle to the bottom of the housing to be drained off. A sight glass in provided to help view the presence of water and contaminates in the settling area. The fuel continues through the holes in the baffle and is filtered through a 3-micron depth-type filter. After filtration ultra clean water free fuel exits the housing and flows to the fuel pump and then to the engine. You can expect longer OEM filter life, longer injector life, longer engine life, higher engine performance, fewer emissions, and often times better fuel economy.

Products

Ultimate Fuel / Water Separators available in Carbon Steel and/or 304 Stainless Steel heavy duty housings. All housings have bolt down covers to make is easy to service the filter element. Systems can be installed on the suction side or pressure side of an existing fuel pump. Pump and motor systems are also available. Large variety of sizes and flow rates to handle low volume or high volumes of fuel. Manifolded piping systems can be assembled to operate independently or in parallel.
