Locomotive Filtration

The importance of filtration cannot be overstated, especially on a locomotive. Today’s diesel engines require cleaner fuel to operate most efficiently and require a higher level of fuel pretreatment. Proper care of diesel fuel is essential to the overall locomotive performance, and cuts down on maintenance costs. PDI’s patented Diesel Dehydrator™ removes water and filters particulate from diesel fuel, and our fuel filter elements were created from a partnership with Schroeder Industries.

Diesel Dehydrator

The patented Diesel Dehydrator™ is an engineered system that removes water and filters particulate from diesel fuel. Designed to be the main fuel filtration system and tested to filter down to 5 micron, it removes 99.5% of water from the fuel. This, in turn with its extended-life filter, removes particulate from fuel, and increases fuel injector lifespan and overall performance of the locomotive.

Fuel Filter Canisters

PDI is a manufacturer of Tier 2, 3 and 4 fuel filter canisters and custom canister assemblies. The housing of a fuel filter is an important, although perhaps overlooked, part of the locomotive fuel system. Our quality canisters are internally cleaned to meet Tier 1-4 cleanliness requirements. PDI has also developed a new bolted-lid solution to banded fuel canister lids.
