At Filtry.org you will find fuel filters matched to DETROIT industrial machines.
The fuel filter protects the injection system from contaminants and water in fuel. A clogged fuel filter restricts fuel flow, causing power loss and hard starting. Regular replacement every 30,000-60,000 km or 500-1,000 engine hours ensures optimal performance and long component life.
All fuel filters for DETROIT 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.
