Literature O f f e r e d O n N e w Spin-On Racor Fuel F i l t e r / W a t e r Separator

A new spin-on fuel filter/water separator is being introduced by the Racor Division of Parker Hannifin Corporation, which fits the existing fuel filter head on almost any diesel engine. Designed for easy installation and service, Racor Spin-On filters feature a see-through collection bowl, long a hallmark of Racor filter/ separators.

The complete filter/separator with element and clear collection bowl fits onto the existing on-engine filter head, and neither tools nor adapters are required for installation.

In addition, filter elements can be replaced and the see-through bowl is reusable. The straight Spin- On filter is available for Cummins, Detroit Diesel Allison, Caterpillar and International Harvester engines.

The Racor Spin-On filter/separator removes virtually 100 percent of the damaging water, and filters out solids down to two microns in size.

Contaminants are separated into the see-through collection bowl, and isolated there until they are flushed away through the self-venting drain in the bottom.

To combat the damaging effects of emulsified water on filter elements, Racor engineered a special filter media called Aquabloc™. The media is chemically treated to screen out emulsified water and microscopic solids. This tough material makes emulsified water bead up on the element, then sheet off into the collection bowl.

Two optional features enhance the new product's capabilities. First, a water sensor in the collection bowl can be wired to a panel-mounted indicator to signal when the container should be drained. Second, in cold weather, a Racor self-regulating diesel fuel heater can be installed between the fuel tank and the pump to prevent power loss and stalls due to waxing. They also assist in cold weather starting and assure smooth engine operation in severe conditions.
