Industrial and Marine FBO filter assemblies are designed to meet the toughest refueling conditions while providing easy tool-free cartridge change outs. The FBO assemblies can be used for a variety of applications including mobile re-fuelers, refueling cabinets, diesel fuel dispensing pumps and primary fuel filter/water separators for large diesel engines.

FBO assemblies feature a locking ring collar, which attaches the filter housing to the aluminum die-cast filter head with four oversized wing bolts. The locking ring collar allows a single person to easily preform service by hand-loosening the four collar bolts, rotating and lowering the bowl assembly, and removing the dirty element. With the new element installed, the procedure is reversed; the wing bolts are then hand tightened to complete the service.

Several FBO models are available; including basic single units, pre-configured units, and duplex/manifold units. Three different cartridge types are available in 4 different micron ratings. FBO assemblies support a wide range of flow rates from 20 to 75 gpm depending on the model, type of element installed, and fuel type being filtered. FBO assemblies are perfect for biofuel applications.

The FBO’s housing is powder coated and capable of withstanding up to 150 psi (1034 kPa) at 240°F (116°C). A manual vent valve on the head and a manual drain valve in the steel bowl help provide ease of service. Marine and some Industrial assemblies include a heavy duty mounting bracket with integral fittings that extend the 1-1/2 NPT ports connections.
