Benefits
- PetroClear models PCW-E10 and PCW-E30 are particulate removing and water sensing replacement element type filters designed for aftermarket, cost efficient particulate filtration of fuels at high volume fueling locations such as truck stops, card lock sites, and industrial and commercial applications.
- The PCW-E10 and PCW-E30 are designed to remove particulate and to sense both free and emulsified water from NEAT GASOLINE, diesel, Biodiesel, ULSD (Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel), Kerosene and fuel oils.
- PetroClear models PCW-E10 and PCW-E30 are particulate and water sensing replacement element type filters. These filters are designed to sense water, both free and emulsified, and slow flow as an indicator of the presence of water in NEAT GASOLINE. This filter will not sense or react to water in Ethanol blended fuels.
- PetroClear models PCW-E10 and PCW-E30 will not detect phase separation should it occur in Ethanol blended fuels.
- The water-sensing filter is not a fool-proof mechanical positive shut-off. If this filter remains in service after going into slow flow it can return to full flow, allowing contaminated fuel to be dispensed into the consumer's vehicle and cause potential damage.
Specifications
- The PetroClear model PCW-E10 utilizes a 10 micron nominal cellulose super absorbent media to remove particulate and sense water in NEAT GASOLINE, Diesel fuels, Biodiesel and ULSD (Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel), kerosene, lube oils, fuel oils, and synthetic fluids. Removes a minimum of 75% of particulate 10 micron size (and approximately 100% of larger sized particulate).
- The PetroClear model PCW-E30 utilizes a 30 micron nominal cellulose super absorbent media to remove particulate and sense water in NEAT GASOLINE, Diesel fuels, Biodiesel, ULSD (Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel), kerosene, lube oils, fuel oils, and synthetic fluids. Removes a minimum of 75% of particulate 30 micron size (and approximately 100% of larger sized particulate).
- The maximum flow rate for PetroClear models PCW-E10 and PCW-E30 is 30 gpm (114 lpm). Maximum operating pressure is 50 psid (3.4 bar). Maximum differential pressure is 25 psid (1.7 bar).
- PetroClear models PCW-E10 and PCW-E30 replacement elements fit the Cim-Tek Centurion Series housings and other brands with a 5" x 9" element.
- Once PetroClear models PCW-E10 and PCW-E30 have absorbed 28.9 ounces (855 mil) of water from NEAT GASOLINE or diesel fuels, flow will be noticeably slow.
- Each filter is packaged with a separate gasket kit that will fit most standard brands of filter housings.

Note
NOTE: If you experience frequent filter changes, it is recommended that you have fuel samples analyzed to determine the source of contamination, such as water, dirt, rust, bacteria, phase separation, etc.
