Hastings High Efficiency Fuel Filters
For Caterpillar Applications


Hastings Filters introduces a new line of High Efficiency fuel filters. This technology is driven by the increasing need to protect the sensitive fuel injectors in today's heavy-duty engines. This new line of filters was developed primarily to meet the new recommendations set forth by Caterpillar regarding the filtration efficiency for the fuel systems on Caterpillar engines.

Caterpillar recently developed new filters for the fuel applications on their engines. The new filters have improved efficiency over the Cat filters that were previously used. Hastings Filters quickly responded to these new recommendations by developing our own line of High Efficiency fuel filters. These filters use a filtering media that has excellent particle removal efficiency, while maintaining high contaminant holding capacity.
Higher capacity provides longer filter life and better performance.

All Society of Automotive Engineers J905 testing shows that the new Hastings High Efficiency fuel filters meet the efficiency requriements and exceed the contaminant holding capacities of the new Caterpillar fuel filters.
