Baldwin Filters BF959 Fuel Filter 5.125 in Box Style

Product Description

The BALDWIN FILTERS BF959 is a box-style automotive fuel filter designed to remove damaging contaminants from diesel fuel systems. Measuring 5.125 inches in overall length, 3.688 inches wide, and 3.219 inches tall, this filter fits agricultural and heavy equipment fuel circuits where particulate control is critical. It includes an integrated air bleed vent and a water drain, making it well suited for diesel applications prone to fuel aeration and water contamination. Licensed HVAC and plumbing contractors aside, this unit is typically serviced by diesel equipment mechanics and agricultural equipment technicians working on fuel delivery systems.

The BF959 is used in agricultural and heavy-duty equipment applications, specifically noted for Allis Chalmers and John Deere equipment. Its box-style design with filtration technology addresses the demands of field equipment where fuel quality directly affects engine reliability and injector longevity. The included water drain and air bleed vent are practical features for equipment operating in environments where fuel contamination is a recurring concern.
