Baldwin PF7980 Fuel Filter Cartridge
The Baldwin PF7980 is a cartridge-style fuel filter with a 5 micron rating designed to separate water from fuel. It measures 9 7/8 inches in height and length with a width of 5 27/32 inches. The unit includes two attached grommets for sealing.
Suits diesel systems needing fine water separation
This filter suits diesel fuel systems that require a 5 micron cartridge element with integrated water separation. It is not for buyers who need a spin-on canister design or a filter with a different micron rating. Systems requiring threaded mounting ports should look elsewhere.
Fits housings accepting 9 7/8 by 5 27/32 inch
The cartridge fits filter housings that accept its 9 7/8 inch height and 5 27/32 inch outside diameter. The 1 3/8 inch inside diameter aligns with compatible centre posts. Included grommets seal the connection, freeing the installer from sourcing separate seals.

Questions about this item
What fuel system must I already have so the PF7980 cartridge with its 1 3/8 in inside diameter will seal correctly?
The cartridge fits a housing that accepts a 1 3/8 in inside diameter and uses the two attached grommets for sealing; no separate thread is required because the thread size is not applicable.
Can I keep my existing filter head when installing this 5 micron cartridge that measures 9 7/8 in high and 5 27/32 in wide?
Yes, provided the current head accommodates a cartridge 9 7/8 in tall with a 5 27/32 in outside diameter and uses grommet sealing rather than a threaded connection.
How do I confirm the PF7980 is filtering at its rated 5 micron level after installation?
Monitor fuel clarity and water separation at the transparent bowl; a steady flow with no visible sediment or water downstream indicates the element is performing to its 5 micron rating.
