Aeromotive Replacement Element, 100-m Stainless Mesh, for 12318/12319 Filter Assembly, Fits All Canister Style Filter Housings

The filter element in a fuel system is often overlooked, but neglecting it can be very costly. If not cleaned or replaced regularly, it can get clogged, reducing fuel flow, engine performance, and potentially causing damage to the fuel pump or even the engine. By regularly replacing and cleaning your filter elements, you can avoid expensive fuel system repairs and ensure your engine runs at its best. Aeromotive suggests inspecting and servicing filter elements annually. This means replacing 10 - micron fabric elements and cleaning or replacing 100 - micron stainless steel elements. Heavy - duty applications or newly installed systems may need more frequent maintenance. Wondering which element you need for your filter? Many Aeromotive filters have the same housing, but the internal elements can be very different. Using the wrong filter or element can harm your fuel pump or engine. To find out the right one, look inside the filter inlet. The micron rating is stamped on the top of the element. This 100 - micron element is suitable for filter part numbers: 12318 Canister Filter, 12319 Canister Filter, 11218 A3000 Filter.

Using this Aeromotive filter element is easy. Just replace the old element in your 12318, 12319, or 11218 A3000 filter with this 100 - micron stainless mesh one. Make sure to check the micron rating stamped on the element to ensure it's the right fit for your filter. Here are some important things to note. Don't use the wrong element, as it can cause damage to your fuel pump or engine. Also, keep in mind that different applications may have different maintenance needs. For maintenance, Aeromotive recommends an annual inspection. Replace 10 - micron fabric elements and clean or replace 100 - micron stainless steel elements. If you have a heavy - duty application or a newly installed system, you may need to do this more often.
