Baldwin BF988 Spin-On Fuel Filter – Diesel Fuel Filter
The Baldwin BF988 Spin-On Fuel Filter is a high-quality fuel filter for diesel engines designed to help protect modern fuel injection systems from damaging particulate contamination. With a 4 micron nominal filtration rating and 20 micron absolute rating, the BF988 helps keep fuel clean and supports reliable engine performance.
Modern diesel fuel injection systems operate at high pressures and with extremely tight component tolerances, making effective fuel filtration essential. Even very small particles in diesel fuel can cause abrasive wear to fuel injectors, pumps and other high-pressure fuel system components. The Baldwin BF988 is designed to help remove contaminants before they reach these sensitive engine components.
The spin-on filter design provides a convenient solution for routine servicing and maintenance, while the heavy-duty construction makes it suitable for demanding automotive, commercial vehicle and industrial applications.
The Baldwin BF988 features an M16 x 1.5 thread, 77mm outside diameter and 123mm overall length. It is suitable for applications including Deutz and Volvo engines and R.V.I. trucks, subject to matching the original filter specification.
The BF988 is also listed as a compatible replacement for Bosch 1-457-434-062, Deutz 1180597 and Volvo 4669875.
Available from Conlan Oils, the Baldwin BF988 is an ideal choice for professional workshops, agricultural and industrial machinery maintenance, commercial vehicle servicing and diesel engine applications.
