Questions about this item
Does the BF7949-D cartridge come with everything needed for installation, or must I buy a grommet or drain separately?
The filter includes an attached grommet and a removable drain, so no extra sealing parts are required for a standard change.
The listing shows only one version of the BF7949-D; are there alternate lengths or micron ratings I should consider?
Only the 7 21/32 in length with 3 1/2 in outside diameter is offered, and no other micron options appear in the data.
With a 1 5/32 in inside diameter, will this element maintain proper flow on a high-output diesel fuel system?
The 1 5/32 in inside diameter matches the OE spec for secondary fuel/water separation, delivering the flow rate the engine manufacturer calibrated.
