Filtry.org supplies fuel filters for CATERPILLAR construction machines from trusted manufacturers: HIFI Filter, SF Filter and PZL Sędziszów.
The role of fuel filters is to protect key components — the fuel filter protects the injection system from contaminants and water in fuel. Replacement every 30,000-60,000 km or 500-1,000 engine hours is fundamental to proper CATERPILLAR construction machines maintenance.
All fuel filters for CATERPILLAR available at Filtry.org include cross-reference numbers and full technical documentation.
In passenger vehicles every 30,000-60,000 km. In construction and agricultural machines every 500-1,000 engine hours. More frequently in winter and after refuelling from unknown sources.
Water in diesel corrodes the precision components of the high-pressure pump and injectors. Even 200 ppm of water can halve injector service life.
Yes — after replacing the fuel filter, bleed the system using the hand priming pump to remove air. In modern common-rail systems bleeding may be automatic.
