Installed on the Diesel Engine
On-board Primary Fuel Filter
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.

Model 285V - Stainless Steel
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.

Wound Cellulose Depth-Type Filter Media
Depth-type filtration is known to be the most efficient filtering technique. Great product for fuel cleanliness and price value.

- Axial flow between layers of media
- Creped cellulose with interlocking layers to remove solids efficiently
- High efficiency filtration with low micron levels (<1 micron)
- Performance to B<3(c)=1000 (Per ISO16889)
- Micron rating 1-3 micron is size
- Very high solid holding capacity
- Removes bacteria, algae, microbes, dirt, rust, and other solids
- Can achieve very low ISO cleanliness levels
- High water holding capacity
- Will absorb free and emulsified water
- Can maintain water levels to below 50ppm
- Water efficiency 99.90%
- Inexpensive high quality product
- Long filter life: will last many times longer than conventional pleated paper filters
- Most conventional filters will not remove water
