496 Fuel Tank Filter Assembly with Wrench Replacement for Gasoline and Diesel Water Separate 30 Micron Max 25 Gpm 150 Psi with 1” NPT Top Cap Replace# B10-AL

The media could not be loaded. I bought this fuel-water separator to help clean out a gas tank on my boat, and it delivered exactly what I needed. I was running a 12V transfer pump rated at 120 gallons per hour, so I needed a filter that could handle higher flow than standard marine filters—and this one did just that.Most options I found had much smaller fittings and would’ve choked the system. This unit has 1” NPT top ports, which I reduced down to 5/8” ID hose to maintain flow without restriction. It filtered the fuel continuously for hours without a problem.The clear bowl on the bottom is a huge bonus. I could visibly see the water it trapped, and when it was time to drain it, the bottom valve let me release it in a slow, controlled drip—no mess, no rush. I was able to empty the water without wasting fuel. Tightened it back up, and the system kept running.Between the water separation and the debris it caught, this thing made a noticeable difference in fuel clarity. It kept up with the high GPH without backing up and didn’t miss any debris or water. Definitely impressed.Also worth noting: after I used it, a buddy of mine with a boat asked if he could borrow it after hearing how well it worked. Says a lot.For the price, I honestly didn’t expect this level of performance. If you’re running a high-flow fuel cleaning system or recirculating setup like I was, this is the filter to get.

i did not expect this large a unit I should have read more carefully

Works perfect . Priced right

I have this installed on an external diesel tank that I use for my business, and it does a really good job of removing the sediment and condensation from the fuel. I have purchased the replacement filters and have been using it problem free for several months now.

Installed easily. The die cast top looks well made with clean well cut threads. Plastic bowl and threads perfect and unscrewed easily by hand contrary to many negative comments. Has an o ring seal. The brass screw drain works smoothly again contrary to some reviews. The included wrench seems to be plastic and very flimsy. Doubt it will survive changing a stuck filter. Will rate 4 stars now and update later if it passes leak checks after a reasonable time. LATER: Brass drain valve developed drip leak than increased to a stream after pumping less than 12 gallons. Terrible mess and dangerous. Do not buy this product.

I have an external fuel oil tank that is many years old and was giving my furnace some trouble with water and sediment. I McGyvered a pump, pre-filter and used this filter as a second stage to take in the bad and output the good back into the tank. I was fully expecting to see water at the bottom of the plastic cup so I could drain it off. To my surprise, I never saw a collection of water. Maybe the pump was too fast. IDK. However, when I retested the tank the water was mostly gone. So it worked, sort of, because of the filter itself, not from seeing the satisfaction of how much water was in my fuel tank. 4 stars for the fact my filter contraption did what I wanted. 5 stars if I could tell it actually separated the water and how much.

Petcock handle spun and wouldn't tighten to close drain. Then it fell off. Amazon will replace it if I send back the entire assembly. However, it's all plumbed in and full of fuel oil and I need it NOW not later, as it is still winter. I placed a pipe plug in, but the canister threads are straight so it still leaks. I have a bucket under it now. All I need is a petcock.

Was purchased for home diesel tank work good at flowing out thing’s I don’t want in my fuel
