Baldwin BF7940 Fuel Filter for Diesel Engines
The Baldwin BF7940 is a spin-on fuel filter rated at 4 micron filtration for diesel fuel systems. It suits commercial vehicles, agricultural equipment and industrial engines that require fine contaminant removal. The filter uses a standard M20 x 1.50 thread for direct replacement.
Straightforward Spin-On Installation
Installation is a simple hand-tighten process on the existing filter head. The integral post seal and attached G401 gasket are designed to seal without tools or separate sealant. The most common issue is cross-threading the M20 x 1.50 thread or over-tightening, which can damage the seal surface.
Verify Thread and Clearance Before Ordering
Confirm the engine filter head uses an M20 x 1.50 thread pitch before purchase. Check that the 7 7/32 in height and 3 11/16 in diameter fit within your engine bay clearance. This filter is not suitable for gasoline applications or systems requiring a different micron rating or thread size.
