Description
Fleetguard FS19596 is the StrataPore upgrade of the original FS1003, a spin-on fuel/water separator with integrated WIF sensor port for Cummins B-series, ISB, QSB, and 4BT 3.9 applications. The 7-micron StrataPore media delivers 98.7% efficiency per SAE J1985 (versus 10-micron on the FS1003), with 95% emulsified water separation. It replaces Cummins 3954891 with the same 1-14 UNS-2B thread, 9.78 in length, and 3.69 in OD as the OE filter.
Signs You Need a New Fuel Filter
- Loss of power under load or extended cranking on cold start
- Water-in-fuel light illuminated
- Engine hesitation, surging, or rough idle
- Reduced fuel economy
- Service interval reached (typically 250–500 hours / one season)
