I have read about some Baldwin filters being used in different secondary filtration setups, but I haven't seen a BF1212 mentioned yet. Is this a 2 micron filter? How does it compare to the Cat filter used in the kits? I can get this filter with a base. Would that be as good or better than going with the Cat filter, or not?

Call Baldwin engineering at 800-822-5394. They should be able to answer your question.http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Approve.gif

if you just want a baldwin element they make a replacement for the cat 0749

We use these in our Offshore crane engines. They are water separators but they are not high efficiency. (Not 2 micron) It may be OK as a prefilter for a lift pump but I wouldn't expect it to clean fuel to the levels we are trying to accomplish.
