Baldwin Filters BF1356 Fuel Water Separator Element

Product Description

The BALDWIN FILTERS BF1356 is a fuel and water separator element designed to remove water contamination from diesel fuel systems before it reaches the injection components. Water in diesel fuel accelerates injector wear, promotes microbial growth, and causes rough combustion. This element uses a coalescing media to separate and collect water while allowing clean fuel to pass through. It threads in at M20x1.5 and is serviced during routine filter maintenance intervals. Installation is performed by diesel equipment technicians and fleet maintenance professionals working on construction, agricultural, and heavy-duty powertrain applications.

This separator element is suited for diesel-powered equipment in demanding field and fleet environments. It serves as a direct replacement for elements from multiple OEM and aftermarket sources, including Cummins 3991350, Donaldson P550899, Fleetguard FS19608, Fram PS10812, Hastings FF1244, Case J991350, Komatsu 6737716110, and Wix 533722. It is appropriate for both scheduled preventive maintenance and unscheduled service where fuel quality is suspect or water contamination has been detected.
