Donaldson Co. said it has expanded its fuel filter offering to provide customers with even more options to protect engine components and to extend equipment life. The expanded line of replacement fuel filters includes a full complement of filters to fit: Cummins engines, Racor fuel systems, Stanadyne Fuel Manager FM100 fuel systems and DAVCO Fuel Pro 380/382/482 fuel processors.
According to the company, many of the fuel filters in the expanded line have Twist&Drain valves, which make them among the easiest to service and use in the industry. The Twist&Drain valve, a key feature on Donaldson replacement filters for Cummins and Racor systems, turns the task of removing water into an easy process. This valve has been designed with user-friendly features: a wider, easy-turn “thumb and forefinger” profile; self-venting, allowing for easy water flow; and a single threaded port in the bottom of the filter housing for fast and easy water draining – without the awkwardness of multiple sensor and drain ports.
Cummins engines with Twist&Drain valves come standard with a fully integrated water-in-fuel (WIF) sensor in the drain valve for operator notification of water presence.
Racor systems (used in both on- and off-road vehicles) come with a choice of standard Twist&Drain valves or Twist&Drain valves with an integrated threaded sensor port designed to be compatible with existing OE sensors. Filters for the Racor systems also offer the option of a clear water collection bowl for visual water inspection.
Stanadyne Fuel Manager FM100 systems cover a range of 500 off-road vehicle and equipment applications with just 17 part numbers, allowing dealers and maintenance shops to reduce inventory and shelf space. This simplified design includes a universal interface, with no “keys” necessary to fit existing equipment. It’s also fully compatible with OE drain valves, sensors and bowls.
DAVCO Fuel Pro 380/382/482 fuel processors are used in a wide variety of on-road vehicles. Available in standard and plus sizes, these filter cartridges offer easy maintenance and consistent performance and are compatible with OE specified electronic filter life indicators.
Many Donaldson replacement fuel filters are manufactured using Synteq media, a high efficiency, robust media for fine particulate removal, the filter maker said. This composite media combines cellulose and synthetic materials for worry-free performance and extended filter life.
