Kaltreo PowerFuel filters & water separators
Diesel Generator & Engine Fuel Filters & Water Separators
Quick answer: Kaltreo supplies OE-equivalent primary and secondary fuel filters and fuel/water separators that protect diesel generator and diesel engine injection systems from water and particulates. The same filter range applies to both stationary generators and mobile/industrial diesel engines. Cross-referenced to Racor, Fleetguard, Cummins, Perkins and CAT. Typical interval: every 500 hours or annually.
What they do
Modern common-rail diesels — whether powering a generator set or a vehicle or industrial machine — demand very fine fuel filtration (down to a few microns) and reliable water separation. Kaltreo offers two-stage filtration — a coarse primary with water separation plus a fine secondary — to keep injection pumps and injectors safe across both applications.

Frequently asked questions
How often should diesel generator and engine fuel filters be changed?
Typically every 500 running hours for frequently-run units, or annually for lightly-used engines and standby sets, with the water bowl drained more often. This interval applies equally to diesel generators and diesel engines in mobile or industrial service. Poor fuel quality shortens the interval.
Why is water separation important in a fuel filter?
Water in diesel corrodes and scores injection pumps and injectors — the most expensive fuel-quality failure. A separator removes it before it reaches the injection system.
