Baldwin Filters BF46048 Fuel Water Separator Element

Product Description

The BALDWIN FILTERS BF46048 is a fuel and water separator element designed to remove water contamination from diesel fuel systems before it reaches sensitive injection components. Water in diesel fuel causes corrosion, injector failure, and combustion issues that lead to costly downtime. This element uses a threaded spin-on or bowl-mount design with M24 x 1.5 threads and is installed by diesel technicians and fleet service professionals as part of scheduled fuel system maintenance. At 1.692 pounds, it is a direct-replacement-style filter element suited for commercial and light-duty diesel applications.

This fuel water separator element is appropriate for diesel-powered vehicles and equipment that require periodic water separator service. It is commonly installed during scheduled preventive maintenance intervals on trucks, construction equipment, and agricultural machinery running diesel fuel systems. Technicians should consult service interval schedules specific to the equipment in service. Compatible with Cummins 4992119 and Wix WF10243 as a cross-reference replacement.
