Baldwin Filters BF9827-D Fuel Water Separator Element

Product Description

The BALDWIN FILTERS BF9827-D is a fuel and water separator filter element designed to remove water contamination from diesel and gasoline fuel systems in automotive and light-duty commercial applications. Water intrusion in fuel lines causes injector corrosion, rough running, and long-term pump damage, making this type of element a critical service component. The BF9827-D weighs 0.692 pounds and is engineered to meet OEM-equivalent filtration performance. Licensed technicians and fleet service professionals install this element as part of scheduled fuel system maintenance to protect downstream fuel injection components.

This element fits automotive fuel water separator housings in light-duty trucks and commercial vehicles where water-in-fuel contamination is a service concern. It is a direct cross-reference replacement for Fleetguard FS20048, Ford 3C11-9176-AA, and Wix 8483N. Fleet maintenance shops and diesel service technicians frequently stock this element for preventive service intervals. It is appropriate for vehicles operating in high-humidity environments or regions where fuel quality is inconsistent.
