Patented Baldwin Filter design improves starting time

The PF9924 KIT
The PF9924 KIT

Improper fuel filter venting can cause increased cranking time and loss in fuel system prime resulting in hard starts or even engine shutdown.

Baldwin’s patented venting system evacuates trapped air from the primary and secondary filters enabling fuel to build up the pressure needed for a proper prime. Air vent tubes provide a passage for air trapped in the fuel filter housing to escape to ensure the engine starts quickly. This unique venting system has consistently proven itself successful in preventing hard starts.

The PF9924 KIT is one example of this patented new technology. The PF9924 KIT is designed specifically for use on Detroit Diesel DD13, DD15 and DD16 engines where the A0000904251 fuel filter is specified. The PF9924 KIT meets or exceeds the OE filter in contaminant removal efficiency and capacity (per ISO 19438) and water removal efficiency (per SAE JI488).

Baldwin routinely tests products above and beyond industry standards. Extensive testing has been conducted in the field to validate all aspects of this design.
