Baldwin fuel filters

We use Baldwin, we get them from FleetPride mostly, but many places carry them.

 

I use cat filters on my mxs acert and have no problems with them. Have you tried them ?

 

what is the actual micron rating on the fuel filter you are using. I was getting 6-9 weeks on the Detroit filters and about 2-3 weeks on a Wix. Then I learned the Detroits were 30 micron and the Wix were 5 micron ratings.


I am looking to put on a second filter with a spin-on 30 micron and leave the 5 micron on the Davco filter on my truck.

 

Baldwin filters are made in a plant owned by Fleetguard( Cummins filtration)




Mndriver.... there are no 5 micron filters made by any mfg for Davco F/W sep 2,7.10.25 and 50 micron only
if you have proof otherwise please post mfg and part #

 

I have been using Donaldson filters for everything for quite a few years now. I am using the 7 micron P550467 in my Davco on my Series 60. Got 40,000 miles on the last one. Changed it when I got truck serviced last week, and it still had a way to go before it actually was all used up. Didn't change it out on the previous service. I usually get these filters online at Ryder Fleet Products for around $10 each.

 

yes, you can get a 5 micron.

It would also appear I am going to have a word with my parts guy too. As he was telling me that Wix 33651 is a 5 micron. It's not, it's a 10 micron.

Other filter I use is the Detroit 23521528. I'll have to check the others when I get back home for the numbers.

 

We have switched over to Baldwin from FG. The Baldwins have a better looking oring seal on them compared to FG.

 

I have the davco 380 & using donaldson my filter would last about 15-20 thousand. with detroit it would last at least twice as long. the detroit filt was less than 1/2 price of the donaldson. not sure if the donaldson filtered better, catching more water/trash & therefore needing changing sooner or not. I do not know the the microns of each filt, but my detroit part # is 23521528 & my donaldson is 550463

 

I know for a fact then when I fuel at the loves with the bio fuel my filter gets full 5 times faster then when fueling at no bio fuel stops.
