Can anyone tell me how many microns these 2 fuel filters are: BF1212, BF1259.

 

Anyone ?

 

These are fuel/water separators and arent rated in micron's they are rated by efficiency. They do however use the standard 20 and 25 micron test to certify the filters. I have a couple of pdf documents on testing done on these filters but I can post them here because they are too large. PM me your email address and I'll shoot them to you. BTW- the BF1212 does NOT meet Cummins standard.

 

Thanks

 

No hay problema.

 

Fuel Filter Specs (BF1212):
Flow Capability: 210gph @ 1psid / >300gph @ 3psid
Filtration: 86% Efficient @ 4 micron / 99% Efficient @ 20 micron
Water Removal: 93% @ 60gph / 87% @ 120gph (based on 2500ppm free water injection)
(emulsified water removal will be approximately 3-5% less)
Burst Pressure: 150psi
Collapse Pressure: 100psid

I made my own set-up using the Baldwin BF1212.

 

AH HA!!! Now I just need to find out where you live since we now know where you hide your spare key.

 

looks like a good install, I am just not keen personally on the placement f a filter on the suction side ofa pump, it is easier for a pump to push fuel through a filter than it is to draw it through in my experience. I am referring to the small metal filter to the left of the bd aux pump/ carter in the pic. . I will toss this out, the Baldwin 7977 is a drop in stock location filter that is rated at 2 - 5 microns, way better than the stock, and a bit of insurance for our finicky injectors.

 

It actually depends on the filter design. Some are designed to be pushed through and others are designed to be pulled through. I definitely agree on getting rid of the small canister type filter.
