Product Description

The BALDWIN FILTERS BF788 is a spin-on fuel filter designed for heavy-duty automotive and equipment fuel systems. It filters out particulates from the fuel supply before they reach injectors or fuel system components. The BF788 measures 3.031 inches in outside diameter and 4.844 inches in overall length, with an M16x1.5 thread for secure mounting. Rated for operation up to 60,000 psi, this filter is built for demanding service conditions. It ships with a G449-B I gasket and O-ring included. Licensed HVAC and diesel equipment technicians, fleet mechanics, and equipment service professionals are the typical installers.

The BF788 is suited for use across a wide range of diesel and gasoline-powered vehicles and heavy equipment platforms where a spin-on fuel filter with M16x1.5 thread is specified. It serves as a direct replacement for filters from ACDelco, Case, Caterpillar, Cummins, Donaldson, Fram, GMC, Hastings, International, John Deere, Komatsu, Purolator, and Wix - see the compatibility section for specific part numbers.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified mechanic or equipment service technician. Relieve fuel system pressure and disconnect the fuel supply before removing the old filter. Apply a light film of clean fuel or oil to the gasket and O-ring before threading the new filter on by hand until the gasket contacts the seating surface, then tighten per standard spin-on filter practice. After installation, cycle the ignition to prime the system and inspect for leaks before returning the equipment to service.
