496 Fuel Tank Filter Assembly 30 Micron 25 GPM 1 in NPT
496 is a complete fuel tank filter assembly with a 30 micron water-separating element in a clear polymer bowl, rated 25 GPM maximum flow and 150 PSI working pressure on 1 in NPT inlet and outlet. The assembly stands 241 mm (9.5 in) tall with a 90 mm (3.54 in) bowl, weighs less than an all-metal unit and cannot rust, and ships with a plastic wrench. It suits gravity feed and pump-fed transfer on petrol, diesel and biodiesel to B20.

❓ FAQ
The two are the same filter body with different pipe threads. The 496 has 1 in NPT inlet and outlet; the 496-3/4 has 3/4 in NPT. Choose the one that matches the tank valve and hose you already have, because the bowl and element are shared.
The 496 is rated 25 GPM maximum at up to 150 PSI. On gravity feed with a 24 in head the flow is roughly 5 GPM, which is the number to plan around if the tank has no pump.
Yes. The 30 micron element separates water as well as trapping rust, sand and sediment. Water collects in the clear bowl and comes out through the drain valve at the base, so it should be drained at every refill rather than waiting for the element change.
The polymer bowl and base weigh less and cannot rust, which matters on a tank that sits outdoors or near salt water where a steel bowl eventually develops pin holes. The metal top cap keeps the thread strength where the fittings load it.
The assembly is rated for biodiesel blends to B20 on the standard element. For higher blends, the 497 and 497-3/4 bodies and their elements are the version to use, because the bowl polymer and element media are specified for the fuel.

Description
Product Overview
496 is a complete fuel tank filter assembly for gravity and pump-fed transfer, combining a 30 micron water-separating element with a clear polymer bowl on a 1 in NPT top cap. The assembly stands 241 mm (9.5 in) tall with a 90 mm (3.54 in) bowl, handles up to 25 GPM and 150 PSI, and weighs noticeably less than an all-metal filter, so it does not rust through in coastal or humid service. A plastic wrench ships in the box for bowl removal, and the unit runs on petrol, diesel and biodiesel blends to B20.
