Baldwin Filters BF790 Fuel Filter M16x1.5 Thread

Product Description

The BALDWIN FILTERS BF790 is a spin-on automotive fuel filter designed to remove contaminants from fuel systems in diesel and gasoline-powered equipment. It threads on with an M16x1.5 thread size and weighs 0.688 pounds, making it a straightforward service replacement. The BF790 protects fuel injectors and other downstream components by capturing particulates before they reach the engine.

The BF790 is suited for use in a range of commercial and industrial applications, including agricultural equipment, construction machinery, and light-to-medium duty trucks.

Typical installation occurs during scheduled preventive maintenance intervals or when fuel system contamination is suspected.
