DICMIC Fuel Tank Filter Assembly 30-Micron 1" NPT Top Cap Clear Bowl with Wrench, 25 GPM 150 PSI

The DICMIC 496 fuel tank filter assembly is a replaceable 30-micron water-separating fuel filter with a clear bowl, 1" NPT top cap and installation wrench for gasoline, diesel and fuel-oil systems.

This compact assembly gives you a straightforward, serviceable way to protect fuel systems from particles and free water. Designed for inline or tank-mount use, it accepts common fuels including unleaded gasoline, diesel, fuel oil and blends up to 20% biodiesel. The clear hyaline bowl and drain valve make contamination easy to spot and remove, while the included wrench and sealing tape simplify filter changes.

How does this filter protect my engine and fuel system?

The DICMIC 496 uses a 30-micron element that captures rust, sand, dirt and other particulates before they reach sensitive injectors and pumps. It also separates and collects free water in the clear bowl so you can drain it before it circulates through the system.

• 30-micron filtration media for particle capture and high flow.
• Clear hyaline bowl to visually monitor contamination and water accumulation.
• Bottom drain valve for quick removal of separated water.
• Protective sheet inside the element to resist pressure deformation.

What fittings, flow rates and pressures does the unit support?

The top cap features 1" NPT inlet and outlet ports, clearly marked for correct plumbing. It handles up to 150 psi working pressure and a maximum pumped flow of 25 gallons per minute; gravity feed is roughly 5 gpm.

• 1" NPT top cap with inlet/outlet markings for straightforward installation.
• Maximum flow up to 25 gpm under pressure; gravity flow about 5 gpm.
• Working pressure rating up to 150 psi for demanding systems.
• Compatible with fuel blends up to B20 (20% biodiesel).

How easy is maintenance and replacement?

Replacement is designed to be user-friendly: the assembly accepts a replaceable 496-5 filter element, and the kit includes a matching wrench plus thread sealing tape to speed up servicing. The clear bowl shows when the element is clogged or when water needs draining.

• Includes wrench and sealing tape for quick element swaps and leak-free fittings.
• Transparent bowl reveals flow restriction and water level at a glance.
• Drain valve allows routine water removal without disassembly.
• Protective sheet prevents element deformation during pressure spikes.

Will this work with my fuel type and additives?

The filter assembly is rated for common liquid fuels including gas, diesel and fuel oil and accepts additives or blends up to 20% biodiesel. That makes it suitable for many marine, agricultural, construction and backup power applications.

• Compatible with unleaded gasoline, diesel, fuel oil and B20 blends.
• Designed to resist typical fuel additives and detergents.
• Suitable for inline tank installation on a wide range of equipment.
• Element rated for effective particle and water separation performance.

Who is this for: the DICMIC 496 fuel tank filter assembly is aimed at boaters, fleet managers, off-highway operators and DIY mechanics who need a reliable, serviceable fuel pre-filter that shows contamination visually and supports higher pumped flow. Choose this if you want a replaceable 30-micron element, a clear bowl with drain valve, 1" NPT top cap plumbing, and the convenience of an included wrench and tape for fast maintenance.
