CAT Fuel Filter ( 1R-1712 )

Protecting your engine from contaminants is more important than ever. More precise engineering leaves even less room between components, so choosing the correct filter has an even bigger impact than ever before.

Cat® Fuel Filters are specifically designed to capture the smaller particles that do the most damage to fuel injectors, fuel pumps and other components. Without a proper fuel filter your engine can become clogged with unwanted debris, like dust and rust, restricting fuel flow and lowering performance as the engine struggles to draw ample fuel to continue operating.

Our highly differentiated design allows for components to function as designed and helps to avoid premature efficiency losses and failures by using:

• Acrylic beads to prevent bunching
• Spiral roving for greater pleat stability
• A nylon center tube to prevent metal contamination
• Molded end caps to prevent leaks

We offer Standard, Advanced, and UHE filters to best meet machine and application needs:

• Standard Efficiency Filters are largely for older machines, where tolerances were more forgiving
• Advanced Efficiency Filters have increased contamination control without giving up dirt-holding capacity for stricter component and emission requirements in newer machines. It is also available as an upgrade from standard filters to provide an increased level of protection
• Ultra High Efficiency Filters provide optimum contamination control in all applications while still maintaining capacity. Recommended as a clean-out filter for use after any service work
