Protect Your High-Precision Fuel System with a Complete Filter Assembly

Ensure clean, water-free fuel delivery to protect your excavator’s expensive fuel injection system with the genuine VH23300E0250 Fuel Filter Assembly. This complete, ready-to-install unit is the direct OEM replacement for the primary fuel filter and water separator on Kobelco SK200-8, SK250-8, SK210LC-8, and SK330-8 models. Contaminated fuel is a leading cause of injector failure, pump damage, and loss of engine power. Safeguard your investment and maintain peak performance with this essential maintenance component.

Product Overview

The VH23300E0250 Fuel Filter Assembly is a critical, spin-on style canister that combines both filtration and water separation in one unit. It is installed in the low-pressure fuel supply line before the transfer pump and common rail system. Its advanced multi-stage filter media effectively traps microscopic contaminants (dirt, rust) while its specialized design allows water to coalesce and settle at the bottom of the bowl for easy drainage. Our replacement assembly is manufactured to meet or exceed original specifications, ensuring perfect thread compatibility, correct sealing, and optimal filtration performance to meet the stringent cleanliness requirements of modern diesel engines.

Key Features & Benefits

• Complete, Direct OEM Replacement: A perfect, spin-on replacement for part number VH23300E0250, guaranteeing a leak-free seal and correct fuel flow for your Kobelco excavator’s fuel system.

• Dual-Action Protection: Provides superior particulate filtration to prevent abrasive wear on pumps and injectors, and effectively separates water to prevent corrosion and microbial growth in the fuel system.

• Maintains Engine Performance & Efficiency: Clean fuel ensures optimal combustion, which translates to consistent engine power, smooth operation, lower emissions, and better fuel economy.

• Prevents Costly Injector & Pump Failures: High-pressure common rail injectors have extremely tight tolerances. This filter is the primary defense against contaminants that can clog or score these sensitive components, avoiding repairs that cost thousands.

• Easy to Service: Features a standard spin-on design for quick replacement during routine maintenance. Often includes a clear bowl or water sensor for easy visual inspection of water accumulation.

• Built for Heavy-Duty Use: The housing and filter media are designed to withstand the vibration and pressure demands of construction equipment, providing reliable service throughout its service interval.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: How often should I replace the VH23300E0250 Fuel Filter Assembly?
A: Follow the manufacturer’s recommended interval, typically every 500 operating hours or as specified in your machine’s maintenance schedule. However, always replace it immediately if you suspect fuel contamination or notice a significant loss of engine power.

Q2: What’s the difference between this assembly and just a filter element?

• VH23300E0250: This is the complete assembly – the metal canister housing, the internal filter media, and the water separator bowl/seals all in one sealed unit. You replace the entire thing.

• Filter Element Only: Some systems have a separate, reusable housing where you only replace the internal paper or felt filter cartridge. Ensure you order the correct part for your system.

Q3: Can I install this myself?
A: Yes, it’s a standard maintenance task. Key steps: 1) Place a container underneath. 2) Loosen the water drain valve (if equipped) to release pressure and drain any water/fuel. 3) Use a strap wrench to unscrew the old filter. 4) Lubricate the gasket on the new VH23300E0250 with clean diesel fuel. 5) Screw on the new filter by hand until the gasket contacts the mounting base, then tighten an additional 3/4 to 1 turn as per instructions. 6) Prime the system and check for leaks.

Q4: Why is water separation so important in diesel fuel?
A: Water in diesel fuel causes corrosion in fuel tanks, lines, and injectors. It also supports the growth of microbes (diesel bugs) that create sludge that clogs filters and damages components. In cold weather, water can freeze and block fuel lines.

Q5: What are the signs of a clogged fuel filter?
A: Symptoms include loss of engine power (especially under load), hard starting, engine stalling, rough idling, and black smoke from the exhaust.
