§ FM 100 Series suitable for engines with fuel flow up to 80 US gals/hr. (about 350 HP).
§ FM 1000 Series suitable for engines with fuel flow up to 180 US gals/hr. (about 600 HP).
§ Simple to use - no tools required to change elements or install most modules.
§ Easily up-graded to include extra features without disconnecting fuel lines.
§ Spill-free element change.
§ Extremely efficient – all filters remove water and particles. Up to 99.6% efficient @ 2-microns.
§ Made by America’s largest diesel fuel injection system manufacturer.
§ Specified by major OEMs such as John Deere, GM, Perkins, Ford, Caterpillar, Case, New Holland,
SISU, and others.
5. Installation.
§ The header should be mounted to the engine or frame, on either pressure or suction side of the transfer
pump (if installed). Maximum operating pressure of the filter is 60 psi.

§ Two inlet & two outlet ports are provided, and clearly marked with arrows. Install a plug in unused ports.
§ Select the correct media-rating element. Use a 150 or 30-micron element for a pre-filter (must also have
a 5 or smaller micron filter “downstream”); or if only a single filter installation, use a 5 or 2-micron
element. Factory-assembled complete units are available.
§ Add any module features such as see-through bowl; water-in-fuel sensor; heater etc.
§ Heaters are available for 12 or 24 volts application. Each heater has an integral thermo-switch, which
automatically turns on the heater when temperatures fall, and switches it off when temperatures rise
again. Connect the wiring to a switched ignition source as shown in the directions included with each kit
module package.
§ The pre-filter screen can be installed in all assemblies except the electric lift and purge pump units. It is
ideal to catch large particles, and can be removed for cleaning and re-used.
§ The electric lift and purge pump units are sold only as complete assemblies. They have a special flow
configuration so that the fuel is filtered before passing through the electric pump. The fuel line
connections are “reversed” from the conventional header. The correct inlet and outlet ports are clearly
marked with arrows on the headers. Only special “reverse flow” filter elements can be used with the
electric pump assemblies.
§ When first installing or changing elements, prime the assembly by venting air from the filter. Open the air
vent on the front of the header, and allow fuel to flow into the filter (gravity or low pressure pump). Close
the vent plug.
