Expanded Line of High Capacity Fuel Filters for Heavy Duty Truck/Engine Applications


Last Fall, Engineering Bulletin 93-14 announced Baldwin's new family of fuel filters for Detroit Diesel engines, BF5800, BF5810, & BF5813. We have now expanded this line of fuel filters to provide products which will also fit the Cummins base (#142784) which is used by many truck manufacturers such as Kenworth,   Peterbilt, Freightliner, etc., regardless of the engine make. Unlike the Fleetguard FS1212 or FF105, these filters all meet the new higher specifications for life and operating performance. The table below fully details this complete line of products and their applications.

* May be used alone on Cummins, or with BF584 or BF614 on Caterpillar, or with BF5810 on Detroit Diesel.

These filters were designed to meet the tough fuel system demands of 1994 Detroit Diesel Series 50 & 60 electronic engines equipped with the Detroit Diesel base or Cummins Base (#142784). The filters also fit 6 & 8 cylinder Series 53, 71, and 92.
