Baldwin BF788 Spin-On Fuel Filter
The Baldwin BF788 is a spin-on fuel filter designed for secondary filtration in diesel fuel systems. It uses an M16-1.50 thread for direct mounting onto compatible filter heads. The unit includes an integral G449-B gasket and a standpipe for a complete seal. It is intended for mechanics and fleet operators maintaining heavy-duty equipment.
15 Micron Rating Filtration Limit
This filter captures particles down to 15 micron, providing fine secondary protection for injection components. The spin-on design allows straightforward replacement without special tools. Service intervals depend on fuel quality and engine manufacturer recommendations. The filter cannot remove water or contaminants smaller than the rated micron size.
Verify M16-1.50 Thread Compatibility
Before ordering, confirm the filter head on your engine uses an M16-1.50 thread pitch. Check that the 3 1/32 inch outside diameter and 4 27/32 inch height fit within your engine bay clearance. Ensure the fuel system operates within the pressure limits for spin-on canisters. This filter is not suited for primary filtration or gasoline applications.

Questions about this item
Should I pick this BF788 filter or a different micron rating for my fuel system?
Choose the BF788 when your system requires a 15 micron secondary spin‑on filter; other micron ratings are separate part numbers.
What does the 15 micron rating actually catch once the filter is installed?
It traps particles down to 15 micron in the fuel stream before they reach the injection components.
The thread is M16‑1.50 — does that limit which filter heads I can use?
Yes, it only fits filter heads with an M16‑1.50 thread; verify the head specification before ordering.
