DIESEL FUEL FILTER DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE MONITOR

patent pending

Now available with DATA LINK 
wireless interface between 
our sensors and gauges.

Product Overview

Our diesel fuel filter monitors use solid state differential pressure sensing technology to monitor the resistance to fuel flow through the filter or filter bank.  Differential
sensing  allows us to provide better scale resolution for closer, more sensitive monitoring of the filter condition.  Our sensor is also not affected by changes in head pressures caused by changing tank levels. 

Our electronic gauge is easily mounted remotely from the sensor with a three conductor,# 24awg, wiring or our DATA LINK wireless interface.

Model Selection Guide

All of our Diesel fuel filter monitor systems use either our FVSM-50 or FVSM-50-COM differential pressure sensing modules. 

 When the lift pump is between the filters and the engine (or on the engine) the fuel is under vacuum, suffix V, and supplied with a gauge scale of 0-16 in-hg.  When the lift pump is on the tank side of the filter ( ie. in or near the fuel tank) the fuel is pressurized, suffix P, and supplied with a gauge scale of 0-8 psi.
  

The LF, MF and HF suffix refer only to the size of the tee fittings supplied with the system. They represent low, medium, and high fuel flow rates or tee sizes 3/8"NPTF, 1/2"NPTF, and 3/4"NPTF respectively.  Select size based on your fuel line plumbing sizes and engine fuel flow requirements.    

For commercial marine and heavy industrial applications see our DFM-50-xx-x-COM and DFM-50-xx-x-IND.  These models are supplied with our FVSM-50-COM sensor.

Gauges are also sold separately for installations that require two station indication such as flybridge and wheelhouse applications.  

Contact us about wireless alarm interfaces for remote site generator filter and engine status alarm reporting.
