The GoldenRod 496 Fuel Tank Filter is the water block filter for diesel from the leading filtration brand in the agricultural market. Whilst used within many industries for filtering water out of the fuel in a diesel storage tank, thanks to being suitable for gravy fed installations as well as compatible pumping systems, GoldenRod fuel filters are widely recognised amongst the farming community.
The 496 fuel tank filters benefit from a paper cartridge element inside a clear bowl with a drain point, allowing for the viewing and subsequent removal of any free water that have been removed from the storage tank contents. The element works by using water-absorbing polymers, which trap up to approximately half a cup of water before needing to be replaced.
All GoldenRod filter components including the replacement GoldenRod 496-5 element are available individually as replacements (see accessories table).
