Beta 75 Fuel Filter


Stanley,

The Beta 75 calls for a Wix 33390 / 33393 fuel filter at the engine.  In researching this filter, I see it listed at 10 microns.  Is this correct or should a filter in the 2-3 micron range be used at the engine.  This is assuming a primary filter of 10 microns has been installed prior to the filter on the engine.

Regards,

Doug

10 micron is fine. This is specified by the manufacturers of the injection pump and injectors.

Stanley,

Is there any problem with using a 2 micron filter at the engine?  As I'll have a 10 micron Racor 500 as my primary, it seems that I can get additional filtration by using a 2 micron at the engine itself, unless there is some reason that the 2 would be too restrictive.  Your thoughts?

Hello Doug,

We will bow to the manufacturers specifications on this matter. There are a tremendous number of Beta engines in service with many hours of operation that have followed these manufacturers specifications. 

If you have a quality 10 micron water seperator filter as a primary and keep both filters serviced, then you have a very good and dependable filter system that meets the manufacturers specifications.
