FBO Series
Long Life High Performance
Diesel Filtration Elements
e Engine & Mobile Filtration Division EMEA (EMFE) have developed a new Aquabloc
representing a technological step forward in diesel fuel ltration and water separation. e new elements enables operators to meet
the challenges of dealing with increasingly sophisticated fuel, and an ever-more demanding commercial environment. e new
FBO elements oer up to 50% longer service life and considerably improved water separation in fuels which contain biodiesels.
New deaeration features allow the elements to work in suction applications more eectively and eciently.

coalescer element to be used in poor quality fuels, where only an absorber had previously been applied.

How does it work?
Stage 1: e fuel encounters a high capacity
synthetic pleated particle ltration media. is
unique pleated design maximizes the surface area,
ensuring consistent ow, and delivering exceptional
particle retention eciency. As the fuel passes
through the pleat pack, larger unwanted particles
are removed.
Stage 2: Fuel passes through multiple wrapped layers of treated
depth coalescing media. Here, the partially-ltered fuel interacts
with the multi-density coalescer, eectively growing water
droplets of >200 micron from emulsied droplets of <5 microns.
ese large droplets then fall to a collection bowl separating the
majority of the emulsied water from the fuel.
Stage 3: Finally, before the fuel leaves the lter, there is a central
hydrophobic woven mesh cartridge which prevents any of the
now large droplets from exiting the lter and entering into the fuel
system.
