Description
WIX 33546 FUEL/WATER SEPARATOR FILTER REPLACE P551424, 1476543 - Free Shipping
The mention of "Replace P551424, 1476543" indicates that this WIX filter is a direct replacement or equivalent for those part numbers, which are likely from other manufacturers (P551424 is a Donaldson part number, and 1476543 is a Caterpillar part number). This confirms its application in heavy-duty diesel engines.
The WIX 33546 is a high-performance fuel/water separator filter designed for critical protection of diesel fuel injection systems. Its primary role is to efficiently remove both solid particulate contaminants and harmful water from diesel fuel. Water in diesel fuel can cause significant damage, including corrosion, cavitation, and microbial growth, leading to injector and pump failure. By separating water and filtering particulates, the WIX 33546 ensures that only clean, dry fuel reaches the engine, thereby extending the life of fuel system components, maintaining optimal engine performance, and preventing costly repairs. This filter is commonly used in heavy-duty trucks, construction equipment, agricultural machinery, and industrial applications.
Highlights
- Dual-Purpose Filtration: Effectively removes both solid contaminants (dirt, rust, debris) and emulsified/free water from diesel fuel.
- Water Separation Efficiency: Designed with advanced media to coalesce and separate water, which can then be drained (if the filter housing or assembly allows for it).
- Engine Protection: Provides superior protection for sensitive fuel injectors, fuel pumps, and other fuel system components from damage caused by water and particulate contamination.
- Spin-On Design: Features a convenient spin-on canister for relatively straightforward installation and replacement.
- Heavy-Duty Construction: Built to withstand the harsh operating conditions and high pressures commonly found in heavy-duty diesel applications.
- Enhanced Fuel System Longevity: By delivering cleaner fuel, it contributes to increased lifespan and reliability of the entire fuel system.
- Cross-Reference Compatibility: Directly replaces or is equivalent to other OEM and aftermarket part numbers like Donaldson P551424 and Caterpillar 1476543, indicating wide application.
- Optimal Performance: Ensures consistent fuel quality, which is crucial for maintaining engine power, efficiency, and reducing emissions.
- Filter Style: Spin-on Fuel/Water Separator Filter
- Service: Fuel (specifically diesel)
- Filter Media Material: Advanced cellulose and synthetic blends for water separation and particle filtration.
- Nominal Micron Rating: Typically around 10 to 30 microns for particulate filtration (exact rating can vary, but generally coarse enough for a primary fuel filter/separator).
- Water Separation Efficiency: High efficiency in separating free and emulsified water.
- Application: Heavy-duty diesel engines in various equipment types.
