EE 226 Fuel Filter

EE-226 Heavy-Duty Fuel Filter

Safeguard your heavy machinery and diesel engines with the EE-226 Fuel Filter. Designed as a direct, high-performance replacement for the Volvo 241672, this spin-on filter provides superior protection against fuel contaminants, ensuring your equipment runs smoothly even in the harshest operating conditions.

The EE-226 features high-efficiency filtration media effectively separating water and particulate matter from your diesel fuel.1 This prevents damage to sensitive fuel injectors and pumps, reducing downtime and costly repairs.

Key Features:

• Superior Contaminant Removal: Traps rust, dirt, and water before they enter the fuel system.

• Heavy-Duty Construction: Built with a durable steel canister to withstand high pressure and vibration common in construction equipment.2

• Precise Fitment: Threaded M16 x 1.5 base ensures a leak-free seal and easy spin-on installation.3

• OEM Standard: Engineered to meet or exceed the performance specifications of Volvo part 241672.
