FBO filter assemblies are designed to meet the toughest industrial refuelling conditions while providing easy cartridge change outs. The FBO assemblies can be used for a variety of applications including mobile refuelers, refuelling cabinets, diesel fuel dispensing pumps and primary fuel filter/water separators for large diesel engines.
The assembly features a locking ring collar, which attaches the filter housing to the aluminium die-cast filter head with four bolts. The locking ring collar allows a single person to easily hand-loosen the four collar bolts, rotate, and lower the bowl assembly for element change outs. With new element installed, simply raise the bowl, rotate into position, and hand tighten evenly to complete the maintenance.
Three different cartridge types are available in 4 different micron ratings. Several FBO models are available including basic single units, pre-configured units, duplex units and heavy-duty standing units. FBO assemblies support a wide range of flow rates from 20 to 110 gpm depending on the model; type of element installed, and fuel type being filtered. FBO assemblies are also perfect for bio fuel applications because of their ease of service, rugged construction, and optional electric heater.
