Fuel Filter

Fuel filters blocks dust and other harmful particles from entering the engine. Without fuel filters, some of the impurities can enter the engine and cause potential damages to fuel pumps and injectors. This ultimately affects the performance of the engine.
Each diesel generator only functions with the specific type of fuel filter that it was designed for. Using other fuel filters will most likely damage your diesel generator. You can find the information of which type of fuel filter your diesel generator needs through the part number on the fuel filter.
A fuel filter is designed to last on average of about 500 hours of the diesel generator being operational. That is roughly 20 days of continuous use before your fuel filters need to be changed and replaced from your diesel generator.
Changing the fuel filter is a relatively simple process, and can be performed by most people – provided that the requisite safety precautions are taken.
