51110 A
Detects Phase Separation in Ethanol Blended Gasoline

Benefits

  • PetroClear® model 51110A is a particulate removing and Phase Separation Detecting spin-on filter designed for aftermarket cost efficient filtration of fuels at high volume fueling locations such as truck stops, card lock sites, and industrial and commercial applications.
  • The PetroClear® model 51110A “Alert” is a spin on filter designed to remove particulate and to detect and react to phase separation in Ethanol blended gasoline phase separation. IT WILL NOT SENSE NOR REACT TO WATER IN NON-ALCOHOL BLENDED GASOLINE (NEAT GASOLINE).
  • PetroClear® model 51110A filter offers efficient 10 micron (nominal) particulate removal and detects phase separation in ethanol blended gasolines.
  • PetroClear® model 51110A is a spin-on filter designed to remove particulate, detect and stop flow of phase separation (Ethanol water) in Ethanol blended fuels.
  • Textured paint coating helps ensure a simple, mess-free installation and removal process.

Specifications

  • The maximum flow rate for PetroClear® model 51110A is 40 gpm (151 lpm). Maximum operating pressure is 50 psi (3.4 bar). Collapse pressure is 150 psid (10.3 bar). Maximum operating temperature is 250°F (139°C).
  • PetroClear® model 51110A utilizes a standard 1.5"-16 UNF mounting thread ref. (1" flow) required for most spin-on filter adapters used in aftermarket and/or high-flow applications.
  • Adapters are available for model 51110A in aluminum. These adapters are available in both NPT or BSP inlet/outlet threads. Inlet/outlet sizes are available in 1" and 1.5" single adapters. Adapters are also available in a dual style with both 1.5" and 2" inlet/outlet (2"– 4" bolt SAE flange combination).
  • Each filter is packaged with a separate gasket that will fit most standard brands of adapter filter mounting bases.
  • Install gasket in adapter’s groove by placing in groove at 3 to 4 places and then smoothing gasket between those points.
  • Lubricate with light oil. NOTE: Gasket does not mount on filter!
  • The chemical center core assembly detects and reacts to phase separation and significantly restricts flow through filters.
  • The PetroClear® model 51110A utilizes a 10 micron (nominal) cellulose media to remove particulate from Ethanol blended gasoline.
  • Removes particulate 10 microns (nominal) or larger.
  • The “Alert” models 51110A is designed to detect and react to phase separation in Ethanol blended gasoline.
