What the Automotive Fuel Filter Does...
Fuel filters are essential in helping to protect fuel system components
from contaminants that may be in the fuel. These contaminants can plug
fuel injectors or carburetors, causing engine malfunction and deterioration.
Dirt, rust, scale and water are the major impurities present in fuel.
These impurities can originate from dirty and rusty service station
storage tanks and, as the vehicle ages, from corrosion within the fuel
system components.
All of the fuel that enters the engine must first pass through the
fuel filter. Which means the high efficiency provided by WIX fuel filters
is vital for long and trouble-free fuel system and engine life.
Diesel Fuel Filters
Fine particles, free water and emulsified water must be removed from
diesel fuel before it passes through the fuel injection system. Fuel
from the fuel tank is routed through the filter where contaminants are
removed. If the filter is a fuel / water separator, the fine particles
remain trapped in the filter media while the water droplets come together
and fall to the bottom of the filter. WIX fuel / water separator filters
are equipped with a drain at the bottom of the filter to drain this water
from the filter.
WIX offers high quality, high efficiency fuel filters for medium
and heavy-duty trucks, as well as farm, construction, mining and other
equipment applications.
