Racor Fuel Filter Water Separator

Racor Fuel Filters and Water Separators

Racor began supply the turbine series filtration separator systems to the highway and marine market in 1972. Racor was purchased by Parker Hannifin in 1985,and boasts 34 years of diesel fuel filter water separator media development experience. Today, Racor is one of the best fuel filter manufactures in the world.

The innovation quickly enhanced Racor’s standing. At the time, the trucking industry and marine applications were experiencing significant trouble related to water mixed in fuel. “Nothing had yet been designed that could remove water from diesel fuel.

Racor has proceeded to build variations of the turbine series and then, in the early 1980s, it developed its Aquabloc media. Allowing the filter to break an emulsion out of diesel and water that had been finely emulsified through a pump and remove it before it got to the engine. That coincided with the emergence of electronically controlled, high-pressure injection fuel systems that, unlike its mechanical cousins, required much finer filtration and can not tolerate water.
