EE 288 Fuel Filter

EE-288 High-Efficiency Fuel Filter (Replaces ME016823)

Protect your engine’s fuel system from harmful contaminants with the EE-288 Fuel Filter. Specifically engineered for medium-duty trucks and industrial diesel engines, this spin-on filter provides critical protection for your fuel injectors and high-pressure pumps by stripping away water, dirt, and rust before they reach the engine.

Designed to replace the widely used Mitsubishi ME016823, the EE-288 ensures consistent fuel flow and optimal combustion, even in demanding commercial environments.

Key Performance Features:

• Advanced Water Separation: Designed to effectively separate water from fuel, preventing corrosion and injector damage.

• Micro-Fine Filtration: High-grade media traps microscopic particles to maintain high fuel purity.

• Heavy-Duty Casing: Reinforced steel canister designed to withstand high vibrations and pressure spikes common in diesel applications.

• Precision Seal: Includes a high-temp gasket to ensure a leak-proof fit for longer service intervals.

Verified Compatibility & Cross-Reference

The EE-288 is a verified replacement for the Mitsubishi / Fuso ME016823 and several other major manufacturer part numbers.

Vehicle & Equipment Applications
