Cummins engine parts Fuel filter element C6578910 in stocked

As a critical defense for the X15/ISX15’s high-pressure common-rail (HPCR) system, this filter element adopts advanced multi-layer filtration media. The primary layer is a 30μm synthetic fiber membrane with electrostatic adsorption, capturing 99.8% of particles (e.g., dust, rust, sediment) that cause injector wear. A secondary hydrophobic layer repels water (separation efficiency ≥95%), preventing fuel system corrosion and injector sticking—common issues in humid or rainy environments. The tertiary support layer (reinforced cellulose) enhances dirt-holding capacity to 45g, 60% higher than aftermarket elements, allowing extended service intervals of 35,000km for long-haul applications. This comprehensive filtration protects the HPCR system’s precision components (valves, nozzles) from premature failure

Engineered to endure the harsh conditions of heavy-duty fuel systems, the C6578910 element features a robust structural design. The filtration media is bonded to a galvanized steel core, resisting collapse under the X15 engine’s 250bar fuel pressure—preventing media fragments from entering the fuel system. The outer cage is made of impact-resistant polypropylene (PP) with reinforced ribs, absorbing engine vibration (10-2000Hz) and reducing media damage. A rigid top plate with integrated seal grooves ensures uniform compression of the seal ring, eliminating bypass leaks that compromise filtration performance. The element’s bayonet mounting design enables secure locking with the housing, avoiding dislodgment during off-road or high-vibration operation (e.g., mining trucks)

Optimized to adapt to diverse fuel types and operating climates, the filter element exhibits exceptional chemical and temperature resistance. The filtration media and PP cage are compatible with diesel, biodiesel (B20), and ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD), resisting degradation from fuel additives and contaminants. The HNBR seal ring maintains elasticity across a temperature range of -40℃ to 120℃, ensuring a leak-tight seal in frigid northern winters and high-temperature desert operations. The media’s hydrophobic coating remains effective even after prolonged exposure to water-contaminated fuel, preventing mold growth and filter clogging. This resilience ensures consistent performance in all fuel quality and climate conditions

The C6578910 filter element is designed for cost savings and ease of maintenance. Its bayonet-style installation allows tool-free replacement in 10 minutes, reducing labor costs by 50% compared to bolt-on elements. The extended service interval (35,000km vs. 20,000km for aftermarket options) cuts maintenance frequency by 40%, lowering total cost of ownership for fleets. By protecting the HPCR system, it extends injector service life by 40% and reduces the risk of expensive overhauls (costing up to $8,000 per engine). A built-in pressure differential indicator (compatible with the engine’s ECU) alerts technicians to clogging, avoiding unplanned downtime. Backed by a 2-year/35,000km Cummins warranty, it provides reliable protection and predictable maintenance costs for heavy-duty operations
