What the 26560145 Is — a Separator, Not a Filter

The 26560145 is a fuel water separator. Its job is to remove water and bulk particulate from fuel before the final filter, using a coalescing element with an integral drain. It protects the injection system from water, which the final-stage filter is not designed to strip on its own.

Sellers call the same number a “fuel filter”, a “pre-fuel filter” and a “water trap”. The job does not change: this is the primary water-separating stage, and fine filtration happens downstream in a separate element. The labels describe positions and duties that differ by build, so confirm the position you are servicing and the number on the old element; the label will not settle it.

26560145 Specifications

We publish only the fields that agree across listings. Outer diameter, length, thread and weight are withheld: listings conflict on every one, and a copied figure is not evidence. Those values are confirmed against the manufacturer specification for your build and stated in your quotation.

Three Records That Have to Agree

Where the manual, the parts record and the old element disagree, send all three. A manual can print a number that was correct for a different build, or that has since been superseded.

The element in your hand is evidence; the identification guide covers reading a worn number.

Engine build

Maker, model and full serial or build number.
Installed position

Which housing it came from, and whether a final-stage fuel filter sits downstream.
Complete number on the removed element

Include any suffix. If records disagree, send all three for review.

26560145 and the Numbers It’s Confused With

Order the number you can evidence; accept a substitution only when the quotation names it.

26560143 is the final-stage fuel filter, a separate part. If you are changing the element that does the fine filtration, you may be servicing this number, not 26560145.

26560163 is a larger, higher-capacity separator. Listings give it greater length and a wider body; it is not an alternative to 26560145 without a record check.

4415122 is another Perkins separator number. A different reference; confirm which one your build calls for.

Supersession chain: 26560920 → 26560152 → 26560145. If your old element carries an earlier number, the current reference is 26560145 — confirm the build before assuming.

Order the number you can evidence. Accept a substitution only when the quotation names it.
