Fuel/Water Separator

The WIX RACING FILTERS Fuel/Water Separator (SKU WIX33960) is a critical filtration component designed to protect high-performance fuel systems from water contamination and particulate debris. This separator serves racing engines, marine applications, and demanding fuel delivery systems where moisture ingress can compromise combustion efficiency and fuel injector performance. Whether you're running a competition engine or maintaining a marine powerplant, removing free and emulsified water before it reaches the fuel pump prevents corrosion, injector clogging, and power loss caused by water-induced combustion issues.

WIX Racing Filters engineered this separator using advanced media technology that captures both free-standing water droplets and dissolved moisture while maintaining consistent fuel flow under demanding conditions. The compact 4.1 x 4.05 x 7.3 inch housing integrates seamlessly into tight engine bay layouts, weighing just 0.83 lbs to minimize added mass. The separator's media element works passively—requiring no electrical components—making it a reliable, maintenance-friendly solution that continues protecting your fuel system across extended operating hours without additional power draw or complex servicing protocols.

This fuel/water separator benefits racing teams, performance enthusiasts, and marine engine operators who prioritize fuel system integrity under high-flow and variable-humidity storage conditions. Installation is straightforward for any fuel system that supports inline filtration, and the spin-on design allows quick element replacement when saturation occurs. Regular inspection and seasonal replacement—particularly in regions with high humidity or contaminated fuel sources—ensures your engine maintains peak combustion efficiency and extends fuel pump longevity by preventing water-induced corrosion and deposit buildup.
