Learn more about MAPCO fuel filters

MAPCO fuel filters became available for customers in 1977. Production of components under this brand is performed by German company Mapco Autotechnik GmbH, which initially was established in France. Spare parts for European, Asian and American cars can be found in the company catalogue. The components represent the mid-price segment.

Types

Depending on the engine type there are following types:

• For petrol engines. The filtering elements for carburettor engines trap more than 60% of particles with size of over 15 microns; for injector ones – about 95% of particles with the size of up to 10 microns.
• For diesel engines. They retain up to 95% of contaminants with up to 4 microns size. They also separate water from fuel.

According to the filtering degree, MAPCO fuel filters can provide:

• Coarse cleaning. They serve for filtering large contaminants. In cars with diesel power units they can be used for separating water from fuel. They protect pump elements from abrasive wear, prevent premature clogging of the main filtering element.
• Fine cleaning. They trap the smallest particles. They prevent the injector nozzles and fuel injection pump from soiling.

By the housing material, the parts can be:

• Plastic. Usually, they are used in the low pressure lines and are not designed for high loads. They are connected to the fuel supply line with the help of connecting pipes.
• Metal. They are installed in the lines with pressure of 3-4 bar or higher. As a rule, they have threaded connection.

4 facts about MAPCO fuel filters

1. Durable steel and light alloys are used for production of their housings. Special coating creates effective protection from corrosion. Plastic housings are made using modern technologies, that is why they are notable for resistance to aggressive substances, high temperature and mechanical impact.
2. Sealing elements retain their elasticity in any conditions. They reliably seal joints and connections, preventing leaks.
3. Filtering elements are made of cellulose or synthetic fibers of various thickness. They efficiently trap both large and fine particles, and also have low hydrodynamic resistance.
4. Innovative technologies of pleating the filtering material promote increasing of effective surface and capacity of the filtering element.
