Cummins X15 performance fuel problems, filters plug up very fastt

Can you post a picture of it?

 

Why not install a regular filter head with a FF202 filter? It is a large filter with a 20 micron rating. It should do all you need without any problems. If the problem persists the fuel is to blame.

 

Does it have a restriction gauge if so what’s it run with new primary filter? I have a signature 600 and went from a 10 micron to a 20 in the winter because I had problems getting it started when it was cold and it didn’t matter how much additive or #1 I had in it just to much restriction.

 

Try a racor R61691P I switched to those I get 15k with no trouble could not get 11k on a paccar filter they are only around $20 also same filter just better quality in my opinion

 

Just reached 20k and the filter is doing great.

 

Hes not lying. It's something with the new performance series x15, with the stock filter.
I have an 18, 525 PS and mine last about 10-12k. Every dealer, and even Cummins, says 30k is the minimum it should be going.
Of course no one wants to pay to fix it.

 

I substituted a K37-1012, 30 micron and it lasted to the next PM, 20k. All is good.
Nothing to fix. Just change the part number.

 

I've said it before , and here it goes again..........


The fuel systems have tighter tolerance than ever before. Fuel needs to be clean down to 5 micron. Which means filters will plug faster. Nature of the system at hand. Its either change filters or change injectors.

The only way to get more time is to increase capacity/size of the filter. Increasing OE side micron will help some as we allready touched on.

No one to blame......just how it is.

 

Then the manufacturer should say that.......


They are to blame.
