Baldwin Filters BF7746-D Fuel Water Separator Element

Product Description

The BALDWIN FILTERS BF7746-D is a fuel and water separator element designed to remove water and contaminants from diesel or gasoline fuel systems in automotive and light-to-medium duty applications. Water in fuel lines causes corrosion, injector damage, and combustion issues - this element provides a filtration barrier that separates entrained water before it reaches sensitive fuel system components. The element measures 3-9/32 inches outside diameter and 7-5/8 inches overall length, and weighs approximately 0.888 pounds. It is a direct replacement unit intended for installation by qualified technicians servicing fuel filtration assemblies.

This separator element is suited for automotive fuel systems where water contamination is a recurring concern, such as vehicles operating in high-humidity environments or those running on fuel with elevated water content. The element fits into compatible fuel filter housings and is packaged as a single unit. Typical applications include service intervals on light trucks, commercial vehicles, and equipment where fuel quality directly affects engine performance and injector longevity.
