Fuel Filter P763995 / FF5471 For Donaldson Brand

Product Description

In today's modern times, fuel filters play a vital role in the engine fuel system. Unfiltered fuel may contain a variety of contaminants, such as paint chips and dirt that have been hit into the fuel tank when refueling, or rust caused by moisture in the steel fuel tank. If these substances are not removed before the fuel enters the system, they will cause rapid wear and failure of fuel pumps and injectors due to the abrasive effect of particles on the high-precision components used in modern injection systems. The fuel filter also improves performance because fewer pollutants are present in the fuel, and the more efficiently it can be burned.

The fuel filter requires regular maintenance. This is usually the case of simply disconnecting the filter from the fuel line and replacing it with a new filter, although some specially designed filters can be cleaned and reused many times. If the filter is replaced irregularly, the filter may become clogged with contaminants and restrict fuel flow, resulting in a significant decrease in engine performance because it is difficult for the engine to draw enough fuel to continue normal operation.
