2022 Cummins Fuel Filter Upgrade

[KT.CUMMINS]

I am currently looking at the G&R Fuel filter/Water Separator Conversion Kit. I was originally looking at the Point Blank Setup, but I like the idea of having both at the same location and to get the filter out of the engine bay.

I live in Chicago, so I assume the fuel heater needs to be added.

With all of that costed in, I am at $571.

BMP setup with the heater and WIF extension they recommend is $590 so cost is relatively a wash.


Any other alternatives I should be aware of before I pull the trigger? I have some time, I have had the truck for a month and have 4k miles on it, I will probably be due for filters around Christmas time.

Stock engine mount filters are better for filtration if anything id change out the rear cartridge water separator one only to the CAT filter only for connivence

I personally would not swap the kit. The Cummins nanonet filter is the best fuel filter currently on the market to my knowledge. The CAT filters (while rated at 2-3 micron) are not true 2-3 micron filters. I don't have the desire to write out the full details on this at the moment, but I should do it one day so we can sticky it.

Until then, If you look at the CAT 1R-0750 filter, on the spec page (link) you'll see it listed as "Efficiency Rating: Advanced Efficiency". Now look at the CAT catalogue (all I could find last I looked was 2015, link, although there is also one from 2013, link) you'll see on page 9 of the first PDF a table with Advanced Efficiency, where it rates at 4-10 micron. In the PDF from 2013 on page 11, it rates as 5-10 micron. There is no more detailed listing I can find If you look at the nanonet filtration flyer (link) you'll see it's rated for 4-5 micron.

Mopar or FleetGuard (Cummins) as they are the same filter is what I would stick with, at the very minimum I'd keep the nanonet at the engine bay and hope it acts to prevent anything that got through.

the water separator is 10 micron only the engine mounted filter is 5 micron outer layer 2 micron inner nanonet so swapping out the rear separator is actually not a bad thing

I would leave it alone personally. Just be aware you are most likely voiding your warranty in the process. They will look for any excuse to do so and changing the filtration system would give them good cause. Just something to think about.

I wouldn't do anything until the warranty is up, then when you are your own warranty station do as you wish. Never give them a reason to deny a warranty claim on the engine/fuel system.
