When you’re dealing with water in your fuel system, you need more than just a regular filter—you need something that’ll actually separate that water out before it reaches your engine. Water contamination is one of the quickest ways to damage injection pumps, corrode fuel lines, and leave you with a tractor that won’t start when you need it most. This WaterBlock element does exactly what its name suggests—it blocks water while letting clean fuel flow through.
What You’re Getting
- WaterBlock filtration media that actively separates water from diesel fuel
- 17-micron filtration catches both dirt particles and water droplets
- Direct replacement for Goldenrod 496 series fuel filter housings
- Proven technology that’s been protecting engines for decades
Built for Real Farm Work
This element fits perfectly in Goldenrod 496 series fuel filters, which are commonly used on fuel transfer systems, bulk tanks, and auxiliary fuel setups around the farm. Whether you’re filtering fuel going into your main tank or cleaning up questionable diesel before it reaches your tractor, this element handles the job without restricting fuel flow.
Made to Last
The WaterBlock media is designed to handle the temperature swings and pressure changes that come with farm fuel systems. It maintains its water-separating ability even as it collects contaminants, so you get consistent protection throughout the filter’s service life.
Good to Know
Installation is straightforward—just unscrew the old element and thread in the new one. You’ll see the water collection bowl fill up over time, which is actually a good sign that the filter’s doing its job. Drain the bowl regularly and replace the element when fuel flow starts to slow down.
