RACOR filters

A diesel engine without a proper filtration system is a disaster waiting to happen. Racor fuel filters are designed to remove water, dirt, and rust from diesel fuel, preventing serious damage to injectors and the injection pump. Effective filtration translates to less downtime, reduced repair costs, and an extended engine lifespan.

We offer a comprehensive selection of Racor fuel filters, from replacement cartridges to complete filter assemblies, including Incofin and Osculati models. Find the perfect match for your engine by considering the flow rate (l/h) and filtration grade (micron). An undersized filter can restrict engine performance, while an oversized filter might not effectively remove the smallest impurities.

Why Choose a Racor Fuel Filter?

Racor filters are renowned for their reliability and durability. Their ability to separate water from diesel fuel is crucial, especially in the marine environment where contamination is a frequent concern. Racor filters utilize multiple stages of filtration to ensure maximum effectiveness.

The Officina Basile Recommendation

Maintaining your filtration system is critical. Replace cartridges regularly according to your engine manufacturer's recommendations. Periodically check the water collection bowl and drain it when necessary. A clogged fuel filter can cause power loss, starting difficulties, and, in the worst-case scenario, irreparable engine damage.

What is the difference between a 10-micron and a 30-micron Racor fuel filter?

A 10-micron diesel fuel filter offers finer filtration, removing smaller particles than a 30-micron filter. 10-micron filters are generally recommended for modern engines with high-pressure injection systems, while 30-micron filters can be used as a pre-filter or on older engines.

How do I install a Racor fuel filter?

Installation varies depending on the model, but generally, you need to shut off the fuel supply, disconnect the existing hoses, connect the Racor filter following the arrows indicating the flow direction, and restart the engine, checking for leaks. If you're not comfortable, consult a qualified mechanic.

How often should I replace the Racor fuel filter cartridge?

The replacement frequency depends on the fuel conditions and engine usage hours. Generally, it's advisable to replace the cartridge at least once a year or every 200-300 hours of use. Regularly inspect the fuel filter and replace it if you notice dirt, water, or a decrease in engine performance.

Can I use a Racor fuel filter for gasoline?

No, Racor filters are specifically designed for diesel fuel. Using a diesel fuel filter on a gasoline engine can cause safety and performance issues. Always use filters specifically designed for your engine's fuel type.
