Fuel & Air Filters: Small Parts, Big Impact


Fuel and air filters are small but essential for machines like Caterpillar, Komatsu, and Sinotruck. They keep engines clean, strong, and efficient.



What is a Fuel Filter?


Removes dirt and rust from fuel before it reaches the engine, protecting parts like injectors.



  • Hard to start
  • Engine stalls
  • Low fuel efficiency
  • Loss of power


Tip: Change fuel filters every 500 - 700 hours.



What is an Air Filter?


Stops dust and dirt from entering the engine. Clean air improves fuel use and performance.



  • Black smoke
  • Less power
  • High fuel use
  • Odd engine sounds


Tip: Inspect air filters every 250 hours or after big jobs.
