1R1804 Caterpillar Fuel Filter | Premium Mechanical Filter Element for CAT Engines

Core Features & Benefits

Premium Mechanical Filtration & Water Separation

• Notably, it adopts a dual-function design combining mechanical filtration and water separation: the cellulose filter media effectively traps dust, metal shavings, sludge, and other micro-contaminants, while the hydrophobic structure separates 100% free water and 90% emulsified water from fuel.
• Moreover, this dual functionality prevents corrosion and wear of precision CAT fuel system components (injectors, high-pressure pumps), avoiding costly engine repairs and ensuring long-term reliable operation in harsh, water-prone fuel scenarios.
• Additionally, the high-performance filter media maintains stable efficiency even in dusty, high-load environments (e.g., construction sites, mining areas), extending the original fuel system’s service life by 3x compared to standard filters.

1R1804 Fuel Filter Caterpillar Engine Precision Compatibility

• Precisely engineered to match the specifications of CAT 1104A-44(RR), C4.4, 3054C-3054E engine series, enabling seamless integration with CAT construction machinery and Towmotor forklifts—no additional adapters or modifications required.
• Meanwhile, it boasts cross-application compatibility with Perkins machinery, expanding usability for users managing mixed-equipment fleets and reducing the need for multiple filter SKUs.
• Even for aftermarket replacement, its strict adherence to CAT’s fuel system specs ensures consistent performance with original components, avoiding installation mismatches or operational disruptions.

Practical Design & User-Friendly Maintenance 1R1804 Fuel Filter Caterpillar

• Its spin-on mechanical design enables quick, tool-assisted replacement, allowing maintenance personnel to complete the process efficiently—directly minimizing equipment downtime during maintenance.
• In addition, standardized dimensions (outer diameter, thread size) and clear part number marking simplify inventory management for fleet managers, reducing the risk of purchasing mismatched parts.
• Notably, the lightweight (232 g) yet robust structure facilitates hassle-free handling during installation and replacement, even in tight engine compartments common in heavy machinery.

Flexible Interchangeability & Cost-Effective Protection

• It supports multi-brand interchangeability, replacing Fleetguard FS20009, Donaldson P551354, Baldwin BF7679, Fram K11141, and CAT’s own 1R-0724/350-5171 filters—providing flexible procurement options and eliminating supply bottlenecks.
• Simultaneously, as a cost-effective aftermarket solution, it delivers OEM-equivalent performance at a competitive price point, cutting spare part procurement costs without compromising quality.
• Overall, its interchangeability and cost-efficiency make it an ideal choice for fleet operators seeking to optimize maintenance budgets while ensuring reliable engine protection.
