Goldenrod 10-Micron See-Through Fuel Tank Filter 3/4" NPT Zinc Top — 25 GPM, Built-In Drain

The GOLDENROD 495-3/4 is a heavy-duty, see-through 10-micron fuel tank filter with a zinc die-cast 3/4" NPT top that protects diesel and up to B20 biodiesel systems while letting you visually monitor fuel condition.

This commercial-grade fuel filter combines robust materials and a high-capacity element to keep contaminants out of injectors, pumps, and engines. Built for farms, fleets, marine use, and construction sites, the unit offers a transparent bowl for instant visual inspection, a built-in sediment drain for easy servicing, and a large filter surface area engineered for long service life. With a 25 GPM maximum flow rating and 150 PSI working pressure, it’s designed to meet demanding operational needs.

How does the GOLDENROD 495-3/4 protect fuel systems from contaminants?

The filter uses a 10-micron element and 366 square inches of filtering surface to trap microscopic particles such as rust, sand, dirt, scale, and lint before they reach sensitive fuel system components. That filtration detail helps reduce wear on pumps and injectors and prevents clogging that leads to downtime.

• 10-micron nominal filtration for fine particle removal
• 366 sq. in. of filter media for extended service intervals
• Suitable for diesel, heating oil, and blends up to 20% biodiesel
• Designed to reduce contamination-related maintenance and failures

What installation and performance specs should I expect?

Installation is straightforward with heavy-duty zinc die-cast fittings and a 3/4" NPT top cap that works with standard plumbing for tanks and dispensers. The filter supports high-volume fueling and storage scenarios while maintaining reliable capture of particulates under pressure.

• 3/4" NPT zinc die-cast top cap for secure connections
• Maximum flow: 25 GPM; gravity flow around 5 GPM for tank use
• Working pressure rated up to 150 PSI for pressurized systems
• Compact footprint for tank, dispenser, generator, or vehicle installations

How does the see-through bowl and drain valve simplify maintenance?

The transparent bowl gives immediate visual feedback on fuel clarity and water or sediment accumulation so operators can act before contaminants reach critical components. When debris collects, the integrated sediment drain valve lets you remove contaminants without disassembling the unit, reducing service time and spillage risk.

• Clear bowl for on-the-spot fuel quality checks
• Built-in sediment drain valve for quick, tool-free draining
• Visual monitoring helps schedule maintenance proactively
• Minimizes downtime and mess during routine servicing

Is this filter compatible with biodiesel and other fuels?

Yes — the GOLDENROD 495-3/4 is formulated to work with conventional diesel and biodiesel blends up to 20% (B20). Its materials and sealing components are chosen to resist common fuel chemistries and additive packages encountered in commercial and agricultural settings.

• Compatible with diesel fuel and biodiesel up to B20
• Also suitable for fuel oil and related fuel additives
• Durable construction tolerates typical field-use fuels
• Recommended for mixed-fuel fleets and blended storage tanks

Who is this for? The GOLDENROD 495-3/4 is aimed at fleet managers, farmers, marine operators, construction supervisors, and equipment owners who need reliable contamination control and easy inspection. It’s a practical choice where extended filtering capacity, visual monitoring, and straightforward maintenance lower repair costs and keep equipment running. If you store or dispense fuel for tractors, trucks, generators, boats, or heavy machinery and want a rugged, service-friendly filter compatible with biodiesel blends, this unit is built to meet those needs.
