R12T Fuel Filter Water Separator 120AT NPT ZG1/4-19 — Diesel Engine Fuel Filtration
Product Overview
The iFJF R12T Fuel Filter Water Separator is a complete, ready-to-install fuel filtration unit featuring the R12T aluminum filter head, a 10-micron 120AT-style spin-on filter element, and a clear nylon water collection bowl. Designed with standard NPT ZG1/4-19 inlet and outlet ports, this assembly provides primary fuel filtration and water separation for diesel engines in marine, automotive, and industrial applications.
This unit protects your engine's fuel system by removing both solid contaminants down to 10 microns and emulsified water that can cause injector damage, corrosion, and microbial growth in diesel fuel. The transparent collection bowl with integrated drain valve makes routine water inspection and draining quick and mess-free.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does this unit come with mounting hardware?
A: The filter head has pre-drilled mounting holes. Mounting bolts/screws are not included as sizes vary by installation surface — use stainless steel hardware for marine applications.
Q: What's the replacement element part number?
A: This unit uses 120AT / S3240 style spin-on elements. Replacement R12T elements are available on our store.
Q: Can this be used as a primary filter?
A: Yes. This is designed as a primary (suction-side) fuel filter/water separator for engines up to approximately 150 HP.
Q: Is it suitable for saltwater marine environments?
A: Yes. The anodized aluminum head resists salt spray corrosion. Mount in a dry, ventilated compartment for best longevity.
Q: How do I prime this filter after installation?
A: Fill the new filter element with clean diesel fuel before spinning it on. Then use your engine's manual primer pump or crank in short bursts until fuel flows.
