Water in diesel fuel accelerates injector wear, promotes microbial growth, and can cause catastrophic fuel system damage if left unaddressed. The BF1380 threads into compatible separator housings using an M18 x 1.5 thread and weighs 1.225 pounds. It is installed and serviced by diesel technicians, fleet mechanics, and equipment service professionals as part of routine preventive maintenance on fuel delivery systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BF1380 is suited for automotive and light-to-medium duty diesel applications where fuel quality and water separation are critical to injector longevity and system performance. It is a direct-replacement element for use in existing separator housings and serves as a cross-reference replacement for Fram PS11281, Hastings FF1204SP, and Wix 533583 filter elements. Typical installations include diesel-powered trucks, vans, and similar equipment requiring periodic fuel filter service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSeparates free water from diesel fuel to protect injectors and downstream components\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM18 x 1.5 thread for secure, leak-free seating in compatible housings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDirect cross-reference for Fram PS11281, Hastings FF1204SP, and Wix 533583\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1.225 pound service weight suitable for standard fuel filter housing configurations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOEM-style replacement element for routine maintenance intervals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BF1380 is a compatible replacement for Fram PS11281, Hastings FF1204SP, and Wix 533583 fuel water separator elements.

Before replacing the element, shut off the fuel supply and relieve any pressure in the fuel system per the equipment manufacturer's procedure. Pre-fill the new element with clean diesel fuel where the housing design permits, and verify the thread engagement is hand-tight plus a quarter turn or per housing manufacturer specifications. Dispose of the old element and any collected water in accordance with local environmental regulations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFilter Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Fuel and Water Separator Element\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: M18 x 1.5\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.225 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: BALDWIN FILTERS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: BF1380\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BALDWIN FILTERS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51974169854258,"sku":"BF1380","price":49.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/e35d6f41ab36aa3cf2b937ccc68a43e5.jpg?v=1789976145","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/baldwin-filters-bf1380-fuel-water-separator-element","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
