Q: What is the difference between R120P, R120T, and R120S?

The key difference between R120P and R120T is their filtering accuracy and where they’re used. R120P filters at 30 microns, ideal for machinery like Xikang engines where oil purity isn’t critical. R120T offers finer 10-micron filtration, perfect for high-performance engines like China III electronic control common rail systems. Both use standard American threads, but sealing differs: R120T often seals on the outside, while R120P may seal inside, affecting installation. Flow rates match at 120 gallons per hour. The “P” and “T” in the model names might relate to Parker’s Racor brand, but this isn’t confirmed.

 R120S is a finer filter 2-micron as a secondary/final filter to protect sensitive engine components.

Q: What micron rating do I need?

The filtration accuracy of fuel filters (in micrometers) varies depending on the vehicle type, engine design, and fuel system requirements. The common range is between 1 micrometer and 75 micrometers, but ordinary applications are mostly concentrated between 10 micrometers and 30 micrometers.

Different vehicle types have different requirements for filtration accuracy: ordinary family cars (especially those equipped with naturally aspirated engines) usually use a filtration accuracy of about 20 microns, which can effectively balance impurity interception and fuel circulation; High performance cars or turbocharged engines require higher precision, typically ranging from 5 microns to 20 microns, with some as low as 10 microns, to protect precision fuel injection systems; Diesel engines (especially high-pressure common rail systems) are sensitive to impurities and moisture, with filtration accuracy typically ranging from 1 micron to 10 microns, and general vehicles require 10 microns to 20 microns.

When choosing a filter, comprehensive consideration should be given: priority should be given to original parts or brand products certified by ISO, ensuring that the filtration accuracy meets the standard (such as not less than 10 microns), and strictly following the replacement cycle in the vehicle maintenance manual to maintain fuel system stability and engine life.

Q: Who makes Racor filters?

Racor filters are manufactured by Parker Hannifin Corporation in the United States, a brand belonging to the filtration business unit of the Parker Hannifin Group. ‌
