Baldwin BF971 is a heavy-duty fuel storage tank spin-on filter designed to remove dirt, debris, and other contaminants from fuel before it reaches downstream equipment. With a 4-micron nominal rating and 15-micron absolute rating, the BF971 provides effective fuel filtration for demanding fuel dispensing and storage applications.
The BF971 features a 1"-12 thread, 3-11/16" outside diameter, and 7-1/8" overall length. An integral G381-A gasket is included for convenient installation. The filter uses cellulose media and is designed for use with the Baldwin FB1307 base.
