The main purpose of a diesel filter is to protect the injection system and engine against particles, water and other residue in the fuel. Durable seal and housing materials, optimum filter media and improved water separation all make diesel filters from Bosch the ideal solution for your car – even when running on biodiesel.
For gasoline systems, even minute particles can cause serious wear in the electronic injection system and engine of your car. To ensure optimum operation and a long component service life, Bosch gasoline filters can even remove impurities of less than one thousandth of a millimeter in size from the fuel. In carburetor engines, use is made of gasoline line filters to prevent starting problems and rough engine running. These stop the nozzles becoming contaminated.
