Description

500-0481 Caterpillar Fuel Filter | Enhanced Filtering Power Safeguards CAT Fuel Systems

Core Features & Benefits

Enhanced Filtering Power Performance

• It uses advanced high-density fuel-specific filter media. This captures micro-impurities (fine sediment, water droplets, metal fragments) down to 1 micron, meeting Caterpillar’s strict ISO 4406 Class 11 cleanliness standards for enhanced purification.
• The specialized media combines deep-layer filtration with high dirt-holding capacity (≥18g) and water-separating efficiency (≥98%). It maintains consistent enhanced filtering power over a long service life, ensuring thorough contaminant removal without compromising fuel flow.
• Superior contaminant capture protects critical fuel system components (injectors, fuel pumps, fuel rails) from abrasion and corrosion. This significantly reduces costly repairs, unplanned downtime, and performance degradation for CAT machinery.

Industrial-Grade Durability/5000481 Caterpillar fuel filter

• It is constructed with rugged, fuel-resistant premium materials. These withstand high fuel pressure (up to 350 bar), extreme temperature fluctuations (-40°C to 125°C), and intense mechanical vibrations in heavy-duty operations.
• The filter housing features a reinforced, leak-proof design with dual-seal technology. It resists deformation, media breakdown, and fuel leakage—even under prolonged intense usage or harsh environmental conditions (dust, humidity, chemical exposure).
• This durability ensures reliable enhanced filtering performance in demanding workplaces (dusty construction sites, rugged mines, remote operation areas), providing year-round protection for CAT fuel systems.

Precise CAT Machinery Compatibility

• It is meticulously crafted to match specifications of various CAT models, including excavators (320GC/323GC), wheel loaders (950GC/966GC), haul trucks (770G/772G), and generators (G3516/G3520).
• As a direct OEM replacement, it fits perfectly and integrates seamlessly. No modifications or adapters needed, ensuring optimal fuel system functionality and hassle-free installation (tool-free replacement in 5 minutes).
• Broad compatibility simplifies inventory management for fleet operators. It eliminates the need to stock multiple filter variants, reducing inventory costs.

User-Friendly Maintenance & Installation

• It has an intuitive, compact design with standardized mounting points. Operators complete replacement in minutes, minimizing maintenance downtime.
• Its lightweight structure (≤1.4kg) and non-slip grip surface make handling easy—even in tight engine compartments.
• Simple visual inspection (via transparent top cover option) lets operators assess filter condition at a glance. Timely replacements avoid fuel system damage from clogs or reduced filtering power.

Cost-Effective Long-Term Protection/5000481 Caterpillar fuel filter

• It serves as a high-quality alternative to original CAT fuel filters. It delivers comparable enhanced filtering power and reliability at a competitive price.
• Enhanced filtering performance and durable construction extend fuel system lifespan by up to 30%. This reduces repair frequency and lowers long-term operational costs (parts + labor savings).
• Extended service life (≥2,400 operating hours) reduces filter replacement frequency. It cuts material and labor costs for large-scale operations (fleet management, construction companies, mining enterprises).
