Fuel filter (water separator element) with part number 1596102 from the REDX offer. It is a key fuel system component used in a wide range of Caterpillar (CAT) machines equipped with 3054, 3056, and C7.1 series engines. This filter is responsible for primary fuel cleaning and water separation, which is essential for protecting the injection pump and injectors in backhoe loaders, telehandlers, and mini excavators.
REDX filters use high-quality filter media that effectively retain solid contaminants and coalesce water, protecting the fuel system from corrosion and failure, especially in older machines with mechanical injection and newer units.

Filter fits older and newer CAT 4-cylinder engines. Check dimensions: 154.5mm height.
Filter 1596102 is a separator cartridge. It is usually mounted in a glass or metal sediment bowl housing. When replacing, it is worth getting a set of gaskets to avoid air in the system.
Water in fuel is the main enemy of injection systems. If water appears in the sediment bowl under the filter, drain it immediately. Regular cartridge replacement prevents water from entering the injection pump and costly breakdowns.
The filter separates water and solid contaminants.
