Fill-Rite 10 Micron Hydrosorb Fuel Filter — Clear Bowl, 25 GPM with 3/4" Head

If you move fuel regularly — from tanks to trucks, generators, or equipment — keeping contaminants out of the line prevents clogging, injector damage, and downtime. The FR1810HC1 pairs a clear inspection bowl with Hydrosorb media to capture particulates and separate free water, and it’s built to handle diesel, gasoline, kerosene, ethanol and methanol blends, and biodiesel at flows up to 25 gallons per minute.

How does this filter protect fuel during transfer?

The Hydrosorb media traps solid contaminants while the clear bowl design lets you see collected water and debris. As fuel passes, water coalesces and collects in the bowl, while the 10-micron cellulose element captures fine particulates before they reach pumps or engines.

• 10-micron filtration rating for fine particle removal
• Hydrosorb media engineered to absorb and separate free water
• Clear bowl enables visual inspection without disassembly
• Built for transfer flows up to 25 GPM

Is it easy to install and maintain?

The FR1810HC1 ships with a pre-assembled 3/4" filter head to simplify mounting into existing transfer lines. Routine upkeep is straightforward: drain the bowl to remove separated water and replace the cartridge periodically to maintain performance.

• Pre-assembled 3/4" filter head for quick hookup
• Drain port lets you purge collected water without removing the unit
• Recommended filter replacement interval is every six months under normal use

Which fuels and systems is this compatible with?

Designed for a wide range of fuels, this filter supports common transfer applications in fueling stations, fleet depots, construction sites, and agricultural operations. It tolerates gasoline, diesel, kerosene, ethanol and methanol blends, and biodiesel, making it versatile for mixed-fuel environments.

• Compatible with diesel, gasoline, kerosene
• Works with ethanol and methanol blends plus biodiesel
• Suited for transfer systems, pump inlets, and fueling points up to 25 GPM

How do I know when to change the element or service the unit?

Monitor the clear bowl for water accumulation and check flow performance: reduced flow or visible debris are signs to replace the cartridge. Follow the manufacturer guideline of replacing the filter media about every six months, or sooner under heavy contamination conditions.

• Inspect bowl regularly for water and sediment
• Replace the cartridge every six months for routine protection
• Service sooner if you notice pressure drop or heavy debris

Who is this for? The Fill-Rite FR1810HC1 is aimed at fleet managers, fuel transfer operators, equipment rentals, and contractors who need reliable contamination control during fuel transfer. If you operate pumps, refuel mobile equipment, or manage storage tanks and want a clear visual indicator of water and sediment plus dependable 10-micron protection, this unit provides a practical in-line solution compatible with most common liquid fuels.
