Fleetguard® Cummins Filtration FS20172 fuel water separator cartridge filter works to remove emulsified water and other particulates and ensures that clean fuel filtered to a Ten Micron level is supplied to your engine. The supply of Clean, uncontaminated fuel is key to maximum fuel system performance and longevity for modern diesel engines. Without high-quality fuel filtration and regularly scheduled service, fuel contamination can lead to costly repairs and engine downtime. A fuel cleanliness study found that more than 50% of fuel used worldwide does not meet the suggested industry cleanliness levels. Fuel injection system suppliers today require that fuel entering the fuel injection system have ISO cleanliness levels as low as 11/8/3*. Dirt and contaminant removal and effective fuel/water separation with high-quality, filtration reduces component wear and creates optimized fuel atomization and engine power.

NOTE: The use of Bio-Diesel, Vegetable Oil, and Blended Fuels can significantly reduce the life expectancy of your Fleetguard FS20172 Fuel Water Separator Filter.

We strongly recommend keeping a spare set of all your required diesel fuel Filters in your truck as this preventative move is far cheaper than calling for a tow.

• FAQ: What is the diesel fuel filtration level offered by this Fleetguard FS20172 Filter?

• How often should I drain my Diesel Fuel Water Separator Filter?
  Diesel fuel contains water so it is up to you to remove the water that is contained within the diesel fuel water separator filter. This Fleetguard FS20172 Fuel Filter is relatively small so your drain interval should occur more often than you think. Removing the water from this filter is easy and it must be done in order to avoid costly repairs to your fuel injection system. You just turn the petcock and empty the water from the collection chamber of the separator.
