This unit is intended as a direct-fit replacement for many common models (including Racor\/Parker equivalents) and supports a 30 GPH flow rate while delivering reliable contamination control to keep fuel clean before it reaches pumps and injectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the R12t keep fuel free of water and debris?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe R12t uses a three-layer synthetic filter media rated to capture particles down to 10 microns while the bowl collects separated water. Its internal design encourages coalescing of water droplets, allowing them to settle away from the fuel stream for manual or automatic removal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e99% efficiency at removing particles ≥10 microns\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThree-layer imported synthetic fiber filter paper for durable capture\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTransparent nylon bowl for visual water and sediment inspection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAutomatic exhaust mechanism to purge excess contaminants\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill it fit my engine or equipment?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe R12t is built as a plug-and-play, direct-fit replacement for many R12T-style units and compatible Racor\/Parker part numbers like S3240, S3213, S3227 and 802893T.
