Cim-Tek 10-Micron Particulate Fuel Filter CIM250AE10 - 25 GPM, Spin-On Cartridge

The Cim-Tek 70005 (CIM250AE10) is a 10-micron, spin-on particulate fuel filter designed to protect fuel systems by removing dirt, rust and other solids while delivering up to 25 GPM flow.

Keeping fuel free of abrasive particles is essential for pumps, engines and dispensing equipment to run reliably. The Cim-Tek 200 Series filter combines a user-friendly spin-on cartridge with proven media options, UL listing and a pre-lubed gasket for fast replacement. It’s built in the USA and offered in cellulose or Hydrosorb medias to match needs for particulate-only filtration or particulate filtration with water detection.

How does this filter prevent fuel system wear?

The 10-micron media captures fine particulate that abrades pump seals, injectors and valves. By trapping contaminants before they reach sensitive components, the filter reduces the frequency of maintenance and can extend equipment service life.

• 10-micron particulate retention for fine debris
• Spin-on design simplifies element changes
• Pre-lubed gasket ensures a secure, leak-resistant seal
• UL listed construction for safety and reliability

Which media options are available and what do they do?

There are two media choices depending on whether you need only particulate removal or particulate removal plus water detection. Cellulose media (red label) is optimized for capturing solids, while Hydrosorb (blue label) signals water presence as well as filtering particles.

• Cellulose (red label) — particulate removal only
• Hydrosorb (blue label) — particulate removal with water detection
• Both medias fit the same spin-on CIM250AE10 housing
• Not intended for use with aviation fuel — use for diesel/gasoline and common industrial fuels

What are the flow and pressure capabilities I should expect?

The Cim-Tek 70005 supports fuel delivery up to 25 gallons per minute while handling typical dispenser and engine pressures. It’s rated for up to 50 PSI working pressure, making it suitable for a wide range of fueling and transfer applications.

• Maximum flow: 25 GPM (94.6 LPM)
• Maximum working pressure: 50 PSI
• Spin-on cartridge for fast changeouts minimizes downtime
• UL listed for compliance and performance assurance

How do I install and maintain the spin-on cartridge?

Installation is straightforward: hand-thread the cartridge onto the filter head, tighten until the pre-lubed gasket seats, and test for leaks. Replace the cartridge whenever the element reaches service life, shows contamination, or when performance drops—keeping a spare on hand speeds service.

• Hand-tighten onto compatible 200 Series filter head
• Pre-lubed gasket reduces initial leak risk and eases removal
• Carry spare cartridges for quick field swaps
• Inspect filter for water if using Hydrosorb media

Who is this for: The Cim-Tek 70005 CIM250AE10 is ideal for fleet managers, fuel dealers, construction and agricultural operations, and facility maintenance teams who need reliable particulate filtration at flows up to 25 GPM. Choose cellulose media when you only need solid-particle removal, or Hydrosorb when you also want water-detection capability. Do not use this cartridge with aviation fuels; for those applications select a product rated specifically for aviation service.
