Baldwin Filters BF1293-SPS Fuel Water Separator Element

Product Description

The BALDWIN FILTERS BF1293-SPS is an automotive fuel water separator element designed to remove water and contaminants from diesel or gasoline fuel systems before they reach the engine. Water intrusion in fuel lines accelerates injector wear, promotes microbial growth, and can cause serious engine damage. This element provides a direct OEM-style replacement, maintaining filtration efficiency without modification to the existing filter housing. It weighs 2.092 pounds and features a 1 inch thread size for secure housing engagement. HVAC, fleet maintenance, and diesel service technicians rely on this type of element as part of scheduled fuel system maintenance.

This fuel water separator element is suited for automotive and light-to-medium duty applications where fuel quality protection is critical. Common installation scenarios include diesel trucks, construction equipment, and fleet vehicles. It is a direct cross-reference replacement for several widely used filter part numbers including ACDelco TP1527, Case J800394, Cummins 3406889, Donaldson P551003, Fram PS8689, Hastings FF1164SPS, Purolator F75984, and Wix 533604XE, making it a practical stocking option for shops servicing multiple equipment brands.
