The quality of the fuel, its prior fuel storage, and fuel handling prior to the final filter all have a significant impact on the amount of contaminates and
moisture entering the final fuel filter.
It is important to drain moisture/water at least monthly from the final fuel filter. Do not wait until the "Water In Fuel" indicator illuminates before
performing this maintenance. Drain accumulated water frequently.
Maintenance on the final fuel filter / water separator is important. Follow the maintenance schedule per your Owners Manual. Replace the filter more
frequently if highly contaminated or high moisture fuel is encountered.
On a 5.9L engine, if the final fuel filter is replaced due to a high moisture content diesel fuel, then verify that the water sensor in the final filter has been
cleaned. Excessive moisture may contaminate the sensor sensing probes. The 6.7L engine includes a new water in fuel sensor with the new final fuel
filter element.
The final fuel / water separator filter must meet or exceed OEM specifications. Some aftermarket filters may not meet OEM specifications.
The final fuel / water separator filter must meet or exceed the filtration specifications listed in the table below.
Final fuel / water separator filters that meet the above specifications in the table above are approved for use on Cummins 5.9L and 6.7L diesel engines.
The use of non-approved fuel filters will result in engine performance deterioration, and/or possible progressive damage to the engine from foreign
particle ingestion, and/or fuel system component corrosion.
NOTE: DAMAGES CAUSED BY THE USE OF FUEL FILTERS NOT APPROVED BY CHRYSLER MAY NOT BE COVERED BY THE
NEW ENGINE WARRANTY.
It is recommended that customers use the MOPAR approved or Cummins Equivalent fuel filters to protect the engine from debris ingestions and water
contamination.
The following final fuel / water separator filters are known to meet or exceed the specifications listed in the table above.
