UNDERSTANDING WATER-ABSORBING FILTERS
The suction filter is the centerpiece of GREEN FILTER's "GFWater Filter" series for the protection of fuels such as diesel, gasoline and biodiesel. Unlike conventional filters, the GFWater Filter cartridge does not only trap impurities such as dirt, dust and rust. It utilizes a dual-layer media that removes water from the fuel.
Designed for fuel dispensing applications, this line of products ensures that the fuel in your vehicle's tank is free of particles and, above all, free of water, which is a major scourge of common-rail engines. These filters also extend the life of the engine's filtration system.
THE DANGERS OF CONTAMINANTS FOR FUELS
WATER: A THREAT TO ENGINES
Mainly the result of infiltration and condensation, water is a formidable contaminant in a fuel tank. Its presence represents a real danger for engines, particularly modern engines because of their increased sensitivity to humidity. On these new-generation systems, for example, water could cause the injection rails to seize.
Installing a GFWater Fuelfilter is the safest way to prevent free water distribution in your equipment. By removing the water, the filter reduces fuel degradation, rust, corrosion and wear, preventing further potential damage.
PARTICLES: ABRASIVE CONTAMINANTS
These solid contaminants generally come from the manufacturing process, multiple transfer operations, the ambient environment, etc. These particles can be abrasive and cause considerable damage to the engine. That's why proper filtration is essential to protect your equipment.
As well as effectively removing water, a GFWater Fuelfilter retains these unwanted particles, providing double protection for the engine. This filter preserves fuel quality and extends engine life.
