Technical Details and Performance

The WF10059 filter is classified as heavy-duty (Hd) for both class and duty type, making it suitable for rigorous fuel system applications. Its cellulose media captures contaminants down to 3 microns, while the beta ratio of 2/75=3/9 indicates a high level of filtration efficiency. The filter’s burst pressure rating of 200 psi and collapsed pressure rating of 100 psi ensure it withstands the stresses of heavy-duty fuel systems without failure. The integrated drain cock allows for convenient water drainage, preventing water accumulation that can damage fuel injectors and engine components.
