Baldwin BF587-D Spin-On Fuel Filter
This Baldwin BF587-D is a spin-on fuel filter designed for secondary fuel filtration with a drain feature. It uses an M16-1.50 thread size for direct mounting onto compatible filter heads. The unit includes an integral G449-B gasket to ensure a reliable seal during installation. It serves automotive and heavy-duty equipment requiring clean fuel delivery.
20 Micron Rating Captures Fine Contaminants
The 20 micron rating stops fine particles that can damage injection systems while maintaining adequate flow for standard fuel circuits. It handles typical secondary filtration duties where water separation and particle removal are both required. The drain valve allows water and sediment removal without removing the entire canister. Service life depends on fuel quality and operating conditions.
Integral G449-B Gasket Simplifies Installation
The included G449-B integral gasket eliminates the need for a separate sealing ring during change intervals. This reduces the risk of leaks caused by missing or misaligned gaskets. The spin-on design allows quick replacement using common filter wrenches. No additional sealing compounds or accessories are required for proper fitment.

Questions about this item
Will this spin-on filter with M16-1.50 threads fit the existing fuel head on my older diesel engine?
The BF587-D uses M16-1.50 threads and a 3-1/32 in outside diameter, matching many secondary fuel heads; verify the thread pitch and sealing surface on your current housing before installing.
How can I confirm the 20 micron element is flowing correctly once the filter is installed?
After priming, start the engine and check the clear drain bowl for steady fuel flow without air bubbles; a clean bowl and stable idle indicate the element is passing fuel at the rated micron level.
Does the box include the G449-B integral gasket or do I need to order a separate sealing washer?
The G449-B integral gasket is included with the filter, so no separate sealing washer is required for installation.
