Baldwin Filters BF46117 Automotive Fuel Filter

Product Description

The BALDWIN FILTERS BF46117 is a spin-on automotive fuel filter designed to remove contaminants from fuel before they reach the engine's injection or carburetor system. With an outside diameter of 4.34 inches and an overall length of 8.875 inches, this filter is sized for applications where a high-capacity fuel filtration element is required. It uses an M32x1.5 threaded connection for secure mounting. Automotive technicians and diesel service professionals typically install this filter as part of a scheduled fuel system maintenance or component replacement procedure.

This fuel filter is suited for automotive and light-to-medium duty applications where spin-on style fuel filtration is specified. It is appropriate for use in systems requiring an M32x1.5 thread interface. The 4.34-inch OD and 8.875-inch overall length make it compatible with filter housings or mounting brackets designed to accept a filter of this physical envelope. Always verify thread size and overall dimensions against the housing specification before installation.
