❓ FAQ
30 micron is a primary (first-stage) filtration rating. For engine-side fuel systems it should be paired with a finer secondary filter of 10 micron or less before the injection pump. For fuel dispenser and transfer pump duty it is the standard service rating.
The 1" NPT female ports are on the included cast-aluminum filter head. They mate with standard 1" NPT fuel plumbing used on transfer pumps, dispenser lines and bulk filtration skids.
Gasoline, diesel, kerosene, ULSD and ethanol blends up to 10%. Avoid water-based products, aviation fuel and competition fuels.
No. This is a particulate-only element. It removes rust, sand, dirt, scale and lint but will not react to water or phase separation. For water detection choose a dedicated water-absorbing element instead.
For service-station duty, replace every 6 months or 3,000 operating hours. Shorten to 3-4 months in dusty environments or where incoming fuel quality is poor. On engine-driven systems, replace when differential pressure exceeds 8-10 PSI.
Product Overview
The R18189-30 is a spin-on particulate fuel filter built for mobile and stationary fuel pumping systems. It ships as a kit: a 1" NPT cast-aluminum filter head plus a 30-micron spin-on element rated for 25 GPM at up to 50 PSI. Use it as primary filtration on fuel dispensers, transfer pumps and bulk filtration skids. The spin-on design means no housing to disassemble — spin the old element off, spin the new one on.
Key Features
- 30-micron particulate filtration: Catches rust, sand, dirt, scale and lint as a first-stage filter, cutting clogging and wear on downstream fine filters and injectors.
- 1" NPT cast-aluminum head: Includes a cast-aluminum head with 1" NPT female ports that mate directly to transfer pumps, dispenser lines and bulk filtration skids.
- 25 GPM high flow: Rated at 25 GPM with a 50 PSI maximum working pressure — built for the flow demand of dispenser and transfer-pump duty without becoming a bottleneck.
- Spin-on quick change: No housing to disassemble: spin the old element off and the new one on to keep downtime to a minimum.
- Broad fuel compatibility: Works with gasoline, diesel, kerosene, ULSD and ethanol blends up to 10%.
