Goldenrod 495 Diesel Fuel Tank Filter 10-Micron, Clear Bowl, 1" NPT Zinc Top — Biodiesel-Compatible, High Flow

GOLDENROD 495 is a heavy-duty 10-micron diesel and biodiesel-compatible fuel tank filter with a clear bowl, zinc die-cast top, and 1" NPT fittings for professional fuel system protection. The GOLDENROD 495 combines robust construction and fine filtration to protect fuel systems used in agricultural, commercial, and marine equipment. Designed with a transparent collection bowl for instant visual inspection, corrosion-resistant zinc die-cast fittings, and a high-capacity element, this unit helps operators spot water and debris before contaminants reach pumps and injectors. It balances flow capacity and contaminant capture so fleet managers and technicians can maintain uptime without frequent replacements.

How well does the GOLDENROD 495 remove contaminants?

The 495 uses a 10-micron filtration media across an expanded surface area to trap microscopic particles, dust, and rust while allowing high flow rates. Its large filter area reduces clogging frequency and maintains steady fuel delivery under load.

• 10-micron rated element for fine particulate capture
• 366 square inches of filter surface to extend service intervals
• Effective against rust, sand, scale, lint, and similar debris

Can it handle biodiesel and high-demand applications?

The 495 is formulated to work with conventional diesel and biodiesel blends up to B20, making it suitable for mixed-fuel fleets. It’s built to tolerate elevated flow and pressure requirements found in commercial, agricultural, and marine settings.

• Compatible with diesel and biodiesel blends up to 20%
• Rated up to 25 GPM maximum flow for high-volume needs
• Designed for operating pressures up to 150 PSI

What features make maintenance and monitoring easier?

The transparent bowl lets you inspect fuel clarity and detect water or sediment at a glance, while an integrated drain valve removes collected contaminants without dismantling the assembly. This reduces downtime and simplifies routine checks on fuel storage and equipment tanks.

• See-through bowl for instant visual monitoring of fuel condition
• Built-in sediment drain valve for quick, mess-minimizing service
• 1" NPT die-cast top cap for secure, professional connections

How durable and install-friendly is this filter?

Constructed with a zinc die-cast top cap and sturdy fittings, the GOLDENROD 495 is made for repeated use in demanding environments. Installation uses standard 1" NPT threads and straightforward plumbing practices, and the design suits both gravity-fed tanks and pressurized systems when matched to application limits.

• Zinc die-cast top cap for corrosion resistance and longevity
• Standard 1" NPT fittings for easy integration into existing systems
• Works with gravity flow (approx. 5 GPM) and pressurized flows up to rated limits

Who is this for? The GOLDENROD 495 is aimed at fleet managers, farm and construction equipment operators, marine technicians, and anyone who needs reliable fuel cleanliness for expensive engines and fuel systems. If you store diesel on-site, run mixed biodiesel blends up to 20%, or require a visible, serviceable filter to prevent downtime, this model provides a practical balance of filtration performance, flow capacity, and durable hardware for professional use.
