Fuel Filtration

No matter what size or horsepower rating your diesel engine is, the primary fuel filter should always be a fuel/water separator. All diesel fuel will have some water in it. Removing it ensures long, happy diesel injection system life and productive engine up-time.

The fuel your off-road equipment uses to power through the toughest jobs, more often than not, contains contaminants such as dirt, rust, scale and water that can plug fuel injectors or carburetors and cause engine malfunction or deterioration. These impurities can originate from dirty and rusty service-station storage tanks, and as the vehicle ages, from corrosion within the fuel system components.

WIX Filters understands the need to protect this vital power system and offers high-quality, high-efficiency fuel filters, and a complete line of fuel/water separators, for farm, construction, mining and other off-road applications.

WIX Heavy Duty fuel filter containers utilize optimal metal thickness and double-seam construction and were the only fuel filters in the Benchmark Study to pass all cycle-fatigue tests. They also ranked best-in-class for media surface area utilization.

The competition uses a number of coil or leaf springs that do not have a consistent load or design. WIX HD fuel filters use kicked-and-tucked springs with a 30-lb. load standard on the inner element. This reduces the possibility of fuel bypass, keeps the filter element seated against the base plate and the kicked-and-tucked spring won’t cut or damage the can.

WIX HD fuel filters were ranked best-in-class for overall design, construction, performance and quality. All of the competitors included in the Benchmark Study had either a design, construction, performance or quality flaw that could have caused either a complaint or a failure. As a result, WIX HD fuel filters easily ranked No. 1 in the Benchmark Study.
