Why Choose This Product?
Fuel filter bases degrade over time — vibration, heat cycling, and corrosive diesel cause aluminum to pit, crack, and develop vacuum leaks. A leaking base introduces air into your fuel system, causing hard starts and power loss. The FB1311 replaces your worn base with factory-spec dimensions and upgraded sealing surfaces.
Installation Notes
- Clean mounting surface thoroughly before installation
- Apply clean diesel fuel to filter gasket before spinning on
- Hand-tighten + 3/4 turn — do NOT over-tighten
- Prime fuel system and check for leaks before starting
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will this fit my FF105 filter?
A: Yes. The FB1311 is designed for FF104, FF105, FF105C, FF105D, and all filters in the FF105 family with 1″-14 UNF threads.
Q: What thread pattern does this filter base use?
A: The filter mounting stud uses 1″-14 UNF threads, which is the industry standard for spin-on diesel fuel filters in this size class.
Q: Does the filter base come with mounting bolts?
A: The base includes the filter head only. Mounting bolts are typically M8 or 5/16″ — reuse your existing hardware or source locally.
Q: How do I know if my filter base needs replacement?
A: Signs include fuel weeping around the filter seal, air in the fuel system (hard starting, rough idle), visible corrosion or pitting on the sealing surface, and stripped or damaged threads.
Q: Is this compatible with biodiesel blends?
A: Yes. The anodized aluminum construction is compatible with diesel, biodiesel blends up to B20, and standard diesel fuel additives.
