Baldwin Filters BF1275 Fuel Water Separator Element

Product Description

The BALDWIN FILTERS BF1275 is a fuel and water separator filter element designed to remove water contamination from diesel and gasoline fuel systems before it reaches the engine. Water intrusion in fuel lines causes injector corrosion, microbial growth, and combustion problems that shorten engine life. This element fits spin-on style separator housings with a 3/4 inch thread and weighs 1.038 pounds. It is a direct OEM-style replacement part installed by fleet mechanics, diesel technicians, and equipment service professionals in automotive and light-to-medium-duty vehicle applications.

The BF1275 is suited for automotive fuel systems that require periodic separator element replacement as part of a scheduled maintenance program. It is commonly serviced during fuel filter intervals on trucks, commercial vehicles, and off-road equipment where fuel quality is variable and water separation is critical to system reliability. Cross-reference compatibility with multiple major filter brands makes this element a practical stocking choice for shops that service mixed fleets.
