68268285AC Billet Fuel Filter Base for Ram 6.7L 68197867AA

Fuel FiltersCE / ISO 9001

68268285AC is the aluminium base that carries the 68197867AA water separator on the Ram 6.7L, 114 mm across, with the heating element built into it. It is the base only: the separator element and the water-in-fuel sensor are not included, so it suits a truck whose original plastic base has cracked, stripped a port thread, or lost its heater. The ports are formed as part of the casting rather than pressed-in tubes, so they do not deform, and the flow direction is marked on top. All three bolts come pre-installed. It fits Ram 2500 3500 4500 5500 6.7L turbo diesel 2013-2018.

❓ FAQ

No. This is the base only. The 68197867AA separator element and the water-in-fuel sensor are sold separately, so keep the ones you have unless they are also faulty.

The complete assembly comes with the element, the sensor and the frame rail already fitted. This is the mounting base that carries them, for when the base itself has cracked or stripped a thread and the separator is still good.

The plastic original cracks at the port bosses and around the bolt ears, and it cannot be repaired. A cast aluminium base takes the same load without cracking, and the anodised finish does not peel or flake into the fuel.

The 68197867AA separator element and the 8-sided water-in-fuel sensor if yours are due or damaged, plus the heater wire plugged into the factory connector. The adapter bolt and three mounting bolts come already fitted in the base.

No. This base is for the 2013-2018 frame-rail arrangement. The earlier trucks use a different separator mounting, so check the model year before ordering.

Description

Product Overview

68268285AC is the aluminium base for the frame-rail fuel water separator on the Ram 6.7L Cummins, 114 mm in diameter, with a heating element in the base and 1,560 g of cast aluminium. It is supplied as the base on its own: the 68197867AA separator element and the water-in-fuel sensor are separate parts and are not in the box. It replaces the plastic base where that has cracked or stripped a port thread, and fits Ram 2500 3500 4500 5500 6.7L turbo diesel 2013-2018.

Key Features

Aluminium, not plastic — the original base cracks at the port bosses and around the bolt ears; a cast aluminium body does not, which is the failure that leaves a truck dripping diesel on the frame rail.
Ports cast into the body — the fuel lines are formed as part of the casting rather than pressed-in tubes, so a hose barb cannot pull out and the flow direction is moulded on top.
Heating element in the base — the heater plugs into the factory connector and keeps the fuel above the wax point, so a cold start does not end with a filter full of crystallised diesel.
Base only, no element and no sensor — buy the base when it is the base that failed and keep the separator and sensor you already have, rather than paying for a whole assembly.
Bolts pre-installed — adapter bolt and three mounting bolts are already threaded into the base, so nothing has to be assembled before it goes on the truck.

Applications

Ram 2500 3500 6.7L — 2013-2018, frame-rail water separator base
Ram 4500 5500 6.7L — 2013-2018, chassis cab, same base
Pair with — 68197867AA separator element and the 8-sided water-in-fuel sensor, both sold separately
Fitting note — open the drain on the old base and catch the diesel before unbolting; the frame rail stays wet for weeks if the lines are pulled with fuel in them
