Automatic water disposal system for diesel fuel filters

Abstract

Ongoing development of current diesel fuel filters, targeting lower emissions and reduced fuel consumption, leads to continuously increasing demands on fuel preparation. Today, nearly all commercial vehicles, and increasingly more passenger cars, use economical diesel engines, which require not only a high level of particle separation efficiency, but also efficient water separation. For regions with a high water content in diesel fuel, Mahle has now developed an automatic water disposal system for fuel filters, which actively contributes to a clean environment and lower-maintenance vehicles.
