Product Identity

The Baldwin Filters BF971 is a spin-on fuel filter rated at 15 micron for fuel storage tank applications. It measures 7 1/8 in height and 3 11/16 in outside diameter with a 1-12 thread size. The unit includes a G381-A integral gasket for sealing. It suits maintenance crews and fleet operators needing reliable contamination control.

Installation Check

Verify that your fuel tank or filter head provides a 1-12 thread port before ordering. Confirm the 7 1/8 in height and 3 11/16 in diameter clear the available mounting space. Ensure the 15 micron rating matches your system's filtration requirements. The integral gasket means no separate seal is required during fitting.

Build and Connectors

The spin-on steel canister is built for service on fuel storage tanks. A 1-12 thread allows hand-tightening followed by a standard wrench turn to seat the G381-A gasket. The 15 micron media traps fine particles while maintaining flow. The compact diameter fits tight tank tops and the integral seal reduces leak paths during element changes.

Questions about this item

Does the BF971 filter ship with the G381-A integral gasket or must it be ordered separately?

The G381-A integral gasket is included with the BF971 spin-on filter so no separate gasket purchase is required.

When should I choose the 15 micron rating over a finer or coarser option?

Select the 15 micron BF971 when your fuel system specifies that rating; it balances particle capture and flow for compatible diesel storage tanks.

Will the 1-12 thread and 7 1/8 in height fit my existing filter head without adapters?

The BF971 uses a 1-12 thread and measures 7 1/8 in tall; verify your filter head matches those dimensions for direct installation.
