VG1560080031 water separator features a robust die-cast housing with corrosion-resistant coating. The integrated heating element prevents wax formation in cold climates, while the transparent nylon bowl allows instant visual inspection of water accumulation. Every unit is pressure-tested to 2.5 MPa and meets the strict quality standards of SINOTRUK.
Unlike generic filters, this genuine uses a high-capacity cellulose/synthetic media that captures particles down to 5 microns. The built-in water-in-fuel (WIF) sensor port provides real-time alerts, protecting injectors from premature wear. Fleet operators report a 23% reduction in fuel-system related downtime after switching to the water separator.
Compatibility extends to Howo A7, T7H, Sitrak C7H, and heavy-duty trucks with MC11/MC13 engines. The quick-release drain valve simplifies maintenance, and the 360° rotatable inlet/outlet ports ease installation in tight engine bays. With an estimated service life of 3,000 hours, this unit outperforms aftermarket alternatives by a wide margin.
water separator is delivered complete with mounting bracket, O‑rings, and drain hose adapter. Every batch is serialized for full traceability.
