Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I know if this filter will fit my specific engine model?
The best way to confirm fitment is by matching your existing part number to one of the equivalents listed in our Part Number Matrix. You can also check your engine's model, horsepower, and year/serial number against the detailed compatibility tables provided above.
What are the signs of a clogged or failing fuel filter?
Common symptoms include engine sputtering, hesitation during acceleration, difficulty starting, rough idling, or a noticeable loss of power. If you experience these issues, a clogged fuel filter is a likely cause.
How often should I replace this fuel filter?
For optimal performance and engine protection, it is recommended to replace your fuel filter annually or every 100 hours of operation, whichever comes first. Always consult your engine's service manual for manufacturer-specific maintenance intervals.
Is this a screw-on filter or a drop-in element?
This is a non-threaded, drop-in cartridge element. It is designed to fit inside the engine's existing fuel filter housing.
What is the difference between this aftermarket filter and an OEM part?
Our aftermarket filters are designed and manufactured to meet or exceed OEM specifications for fit, form, and function. They use comparable materials and provide the same level of filtration performance at a more competitive price point.
