In its first significant expansion aimed toward diesel engine applications, Ramco Performance Manufacturing, Fargo, N.D., has introduced a new fuel filter/water separator system for light- and medium-duty diesel engines. The TurboFyner filter is designed to eliminate entrained water and other contaminants from fuel and keep fuel temperatures above the gel points during cold-weather operations. It is targeted at engines used in all light-duty diesel pickup and medium-duty diesel engines with fuel flows up to 200 gal/hr operating on petroleum or biodiesel fuels.

“Water in the fuel can be a real problem for diesels, especially when they’re operating in cold weather,” said Allen McKay, president and CEO of Ramco Performance Manufacturing. “And as we’re seeing more people using biodiesel, it’s more important than ever to keep the fuel filtered and keep it flowing. The TurboFyner is a true onboard diesel refining system that offers high-performance fuel filtration, water separation and fuel heating, all in one package.”
It is also standard equipment in commercial diesel-to-vegetable oil conversion kits and has proven itself in this challenging environment where keeping the oil flowing and filtered is critical, McKay noted.
The TurboFyner filter is designed to extend the OEM fuel filter life or can be used as a primary/secondary filtration system and eliminates the back-flushing problem common with many inline and cartridge filter designs, thus eliminating any chance of fuel system contamination, the company said. It consists of a machined, solid billet anodized aluminum filter body onto which a spin-on filter canister is threaded. The spin-on canister incorporates Ramco Performance’s exclusive water separating FloMax diesel/biodiesel media, which filters contaminants down to 5 microns.
The easily replaceable self-draining filter element also includes an internal dual gasket/O-ring combination that is engineered to provide positive sealing in all operating conditions. There are no gaskets, O-rings or plastics used in the TurboFyner construction, making it well suited to severe-duty applications, the company said.
A stainless-steel ball valve allows easy draining of separated water and contaminants from the filter, and high-flow 12.7 mm NPT bidirectional inlet and outlet ports are included to provide installation flexibility and reduce fuel line routing problems, Ramco Performance said.
To prevent fuel waxing or gelling in cold conditions, the TurboFyner includes a fuel heating circuit in the filter body through which engine coolant or transmission fluid may be plumbed. This is designed to prevent ice crystals from forming and restricting fuel flow through the filter media, as well as keeps the separated water and contaminants heated and liquid until it can be drained.
The TurboFyner’s compact dimensions–10.5 in. long x 3.5 in. wide–contribute to easy packaging within an engine compartment, the company said.
The TurboFyner filter system is the newest product in Ramco Performance’s growing product line and the first directly targeted toward commercial diesel applications. While the company began by supplying filtration systems for automotive, performance/ racing and offshore marine applications, it has continued to broaden its scope through products like the TurboFyner and the FloMax 300M, a 300 gal/hr fuel/water separation system designed primarily for marine applications up to 2000 hp.
The TurboFyner, along with the complete Ramco Performance product line, is sold worldwide through various distributors and OEMs. Ramco Performance manufactures its products at its ISO 9001-compilant facility in Fargo.
