It’s amazing how hard it is to find the right part for something as simple as a diesel filter. After all, a filter is a filter, right?
“Not all filters are the same,” notes David Studley, product manager for Fleetguard Lube and Oil Filters, who further explains that it would be a mistake to buy diesel filters as a commodity. “Ensuring that fleets select filters that meet and/or exceed OEM quality and performance is truly the best way to ensure proper engine protection. In the case of Fleetguard products, they are tested to ensure we meet these requirements so that the customer experience is highest possible uptime backed by a Fleetguard warranty.”
Think of engine filtration as the powertrain team’s line of defense. They block and remove harmful particles to keep your engine running efficiently. If your defense is weak, you miss a lot of particles that knock your trucks out of the game and park them on the side of the road. You need to choose a filtration product that you can trust to get the job done.
While Fleetguard’s roots lie in red engine protection, Filtration Brands filter products cover a wide range of engines and models, including Detroit diesel engines, providing high quality, reliable engine protection regardless of color.
For example, the Fleetguard FK11011 Fuel Filter Kit is the latest fuel filter kit for all 2021 and newer Detroit DD Series diesel engines that includes a pre-filter and required gaskets. For oil systems, Fleetguard also offers the LF17810 oil filter for all 2020 and newer DD series engines.
Of course, most engine filtration needs usually come from older engines. That’s why the Fleetguard product range also supports older models. Fleetguard FK13850NN Fuel Filter Kit fits 2014-2020 DD13, DD15 and DD16 engines. The FK13850NN also includes Fleetguard’s proprietary NanoNet® nanofiber media for optimum particle removal and protection of fuel injection systems. For older engines, Fleetguard offers the LF17511 oil filter to protect 2014-2019 DD13, 15, 16 engines.
Another well-known Fleetguard filtration product is Fleetguard FS20083, a fuel filter element for DAVCO Fuel Pro 485 processor enclosures. Fleetguard fuel filter elements offer a three-stage water removal architecture to address severe moisture problems in diesel fuel.
Remember, Fleetguard filters have a downside, from a solid warranty to field support. Working with a single filter supplier can also help simplify your fleet’s filtering needs by eliminating the need to keep track of multiple sources when a problem occurs.
