A crucial component of the fuel system – a complete fuel water separator by REDX. Designed for a wide range of JCB machines equipped with Perkins engines (including the popular AA and AB series). Its main task is to separate and collect water and heavy contaminants from the diesel fuel before they reach the fuel filter and injection pump. It effectively protects the precision injection system from corrosion and damage caused by water.
REDX is a brand specializing in filtration systems for construction machinery. Our oil, fuel, air, and hydraulic filters are designed to provide maximum protection for key machine components, extending its service life and ensuring optimal performance.
| Brand | Type / Series / Model |
|---|---|
| JCB | Backhoe Loaders: 2CX, 2DX, 3CX, 4CX Telehandlers (Loadall) Wheel Loaders Tractors (FASTRAC) Mini Excavators: MICRO, 801x, 802x, etc. Skid Steer Loaders (ROBOT) Rough Terrain Forklifts (RTFL) Dumpers |
The list above is for reference. This separator is widely used in JCB machines with Perkins engines (e.g., AA, AB). We recommend verifying the part number before purchasing.
Before working on the fuel system, ensure the engine is off and cool. Diesel fuel is flammable. Work in a well-ventilated area, avoid sparks and open flames. After replacement, you must bleed the fuel system.
The separator is the first stage of fuel filtration, protecting the injection system from water – the worst enemy of an injection pump and injectors. A damaged separator allows water and contaminants to enter the rest of the system.

It is recommended to do this daily, before the first start-up. Simply loosen the drain tap at the bottom and drain the collected water (which is heavier than fuel) until clean diesel flows out.
2. What happens if I ignore water in the separator?When the separator fills up, water will be sucked into the fuel system. This causes corrosion of the precision components in the injection pump and injectors, leading to seizure and a very expensive repair. In winter, water in the system can freeze, blocking fuel flow.
3. Does this separator contain a filter element?This product is a complete separator assembly (housing, head, bowl) which is mounted before the main fuel filter. In some versions, like this one, it also contains a replaceable filter element that acts as the first stage of pre-filtration.
