{"product_id":"cummins-68","title":"Fleetguard Fuel Water Separator FS1280","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Fleetguard FS1280 is a fuel\/water separator filter used to help remove water and fuel-borne contamination before it reaches the engine's fuel injection system. It is used where the filter head or engine parts reference calls for \u003cstrong\u003eFS1280\u003c\/strong\u003e and is commonly cross-referenced with Donaldson, Baldwin, and WIX equivalents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFleetguard fuel\/water separator filter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart number: \u003cstrong\u003eFS1280\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelps separate water from diesel fuel before it reaches injection components\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports routine fuel system maintenance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUsed for compatible diesel fuel filtration systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCross references include Donaldson \u003cstrong\u003eP551329\u003c\/strong\u003e, Baldwin \u003cstrong\u003eBF1280\u003c\/strong\u003e, and WIX \u003cstrong\u003e33357\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEngine Compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse where the existing filter, filter head, engine service record, or parts diagram calls for \u003cstrong\u003eFleetguard FS1280\u003c\/strong\u003e or a verified equivalent.
