With growing space con- straints in compact equip- ment as well as the need
to reduce overall engine package
costs, Stanadyne has taken a new
approach with its latest filtration
development. New from the company
is the FM1 fuel filter/water separator,
a compact and economical model
aimed at the 10 to 75 hp off-road
equipment market.
“This is a cost-sensitive market
when you get into these smaller
engines,” said Mike Cooper, product manager at Stanadyne, Windsor,
Conn. “They have a very tight envelope in the engine compartment.
“You are looking at small gen-
sets, mini excavators, forklifts and turf
equipment. This equipment is operat-
ing in harsh environments. The equip-
ment gets run pretty hard. It’s run for
a long time and a lot of the time the
fuel storage is questionable.
