This test method describes laboratory testing of final stage fuel filters used to protect engines from abrasive contaminant. It has been developed to provide a standardized method of rating fuel filter performance in terms of flow, pore size, contaminant holding capacity, efficiency, and media migration. Although development of this test method was based on diesel fuel filters, it is applicable to all types of liquid fuel filters used on automotive type internal combustion engines. Typical filter systems, service and space problems, environmental and other special factors which influenced the development of this test method are covered in more detail in “Fuel Filter Test Methods” (SAE Technical Progress Series, Vol. 1).
Since the contaminant used in this test is a hard, dry, and abrasive material, the ratings for efficiency and contaminant holding capacity are not necessarily applicable under conditions where a soft, gummy, sludge type contaminant is present. Efforts are being directed toward the development of methods for evaluating the effects of a filter under such conditions, which are sometimes encountered in actual engine operation.
The Filter Test Methods Standards Committee reports to the Powertrain Systems Group of the Motor Vehicle Council. The Committee is responsible for developing and maintaining SAE Standards, Recommended Practices, and Information Reports related to automotive liquid filters (oil and fuel). The committee provides a forum for liquid filter manufacturers and users interactions and works with both SAE and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) on the continued development of test methods required by the industry. Participants in the SAE Filter Test Methods Standards Committee include OEMs, suppliers, consulting firms, government, and other interested parties.
* Redlines comparisons are available for those standards
listed in the Revision History that contain a radio button. A
redline comparison of the current version against a revision is
accomplished by selecting the radio button next to the standard and
then selecting 'compare'. At this time, Redline versions only exist
for some AMS standards. SAE will continue to add redline versioning
with ongoing updates to SAE MOBILUS.

SAE MOBILUS® Search Tips
Please note: All terms not contained within quotes, will be evaluated using the OR operator. This means that your search results will contain all results that contain ANY of the entered terms.
AND, OR, NOT
SAE MOBILUS supports the use of the AND, OR and NOT BOOLEAN operators ONLY function with the Advanced Search.
Wild Cards
Using the asterisk, ( * ) allows you to search for a partial word. For example, entering a keyword search of aero* will search for any word beginning with aero.
Using the question mark, ( ? ) allows you to search for a word with a single character wildcard. For example, searching for t?re would match both tire and tyre
Using Quotes
Words in double quotes " " are treated as a phrase. Conducting a search for "heat model" will return all results in which the exact phrase "heat model" is found, while "heat modeling" would NOT be included.
A term combined with a phrase will be joined with an OR operator.
Searching for Standards
When searching for a standard please use the entire Document Number assigned, which includes the abbreviation. A space can be used, or omitted between the abbreviation and number.
