496 Fuel Transfer Tank Filter for Gasoline Diesel Water Separator with 1 NPT Cap

This 496 Fuel Transfer Tank Filter is a water-separating fuel filter designed for gasoline and diesel transfer tank systems, featuring a 1" NPT cap.

Product Overview

The 496 Fuel Transfer Tank Filter is a heavy-duty water separator that traps water and solid contaminants before they reach your pump, meter, or engine. Built for transfer tank systems handling gasoline or diesel, this fuel transfer tank filter safeguards injectors, carburetors, and downstream components from rust and water damage. Whether you’re filling tractors, fleet trucks, or portable equipment, this fuel transfer tank filter delivers consistent flow and long filter life in demanding refueling operations.

Key Features & Performance

• High-efficiency water-separating media captures free water and fine particulates to protect pumps and engines.
• 1" NPT threaded cap provides a secure, leak-resistant connection to standard tank bungs and plumbing.
• Dual-fuel compatibility with both gasoline and diesel gives you a single filter solution for mixed-fuel operations.
• Robust steel canister resists pressure spikes and vibration during continuous transfer pump cycles.
• Spin-on design enables fast, tool-free filter changes, minimizing equipment downtime.
• Helps prevent fuel injector wear, corrosion, and microbial growth by removing water before it enters the fuel stream.

Common Uses

• Pre-filtering gasoline and diesel during transfer from bulk storage tanks to vehicles and equipment.
• Protecting electric and manual transfer pumps, meters, and nozzles from abrasive debris and water.
• Mobile refueling setups on service trucks, flatbeds, and trailers where clean fuel is critical.
• Agricultural operations refueling tractors, combines, and sprayers from farm tractors or nurse tanks.
• Marine fueling applications where water separation is essential for gasoline or diesel outboard and inboard engines.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can this filter be used with both gravity-fed and electric transfer pumps? A: Yes, the 496 filter handles typical flow rates from gravity setups and 12V/24V electric pumps while effectively separating water before it reaches sensitive components.

Q: Is the water separator bowl drainable, or is the entire filter replaced? A: This is a disposable cartridge without a drain bowl; once water accumulation restricts flow, replace the complete filter to restore full performance.
