Aeromotive 10 Micron Replacement Cellulose Fabric Fuel Filter Element

Description

Commonly the most overlooked component in a fuel system, filter neglect can be the most costly. If not cleaned or replaced regularly, filter elements can become clogged resulting in reduced fuel flow, engine performance and ultimately, fuel pump or even worse, engine damage.

By simply replacing and/or cleaning your filter elements regularly, you can avoid costly repairs to your fuel system and ensure peak engine performance. Aeromotive recommends annual inspection and service of filter elements. This includes replacing 10-micron fabric elements and cleaning or replacing 100-micron stainless steel elements. Severe duty applications or newly installed systems may require more frequent maintenance.

How do you know what element you need for your filter?

Several Aeromotive filters share the same housing, but the elements inside may be drastically different and putting the wrong filter or element in the wrong place could be costly for your fuel pump or your engine. To find out, look inside the inlet of the filter. Stamped on the top of the element is the micron rating. This will tell you what element you need for your filter.

Features and recommendations

• Recommended for applications burning pump gas, racing gas, diesel fuel, jet fuel, av-gas, etc.
• Not recommended for alcohol fuels including ethanol and methanol.
• Over 60-sq. inches of element surface area supports high flow while providing good service life.
• Flow capacity of up to 250 GPH (4.17 GPM) with less than 1-PSI pressure drop.
• Supports up to 2,000 Flywheel HP, Forced Induction, on gasoline.
• Ideal for gasoline, EFI engines with small to medium Aeromotive fuel pumps from the Phantom 200 through the Eliminator pump.

If you wish to change the filter in your housing from a P/N AFS>12601 10-micron to an element with a different micron rating, you may choose one of the following options:

• P/N AFS>12604  100-micron Stainless Steel Mesh
• P/N AFS>12635    40-micron Stainless Steel Mesh
