MANN+HUMMEL announced the parts kit for its MANN-FILTER fuel filter PU 10 023/1 z KIT for pickups makes maintenance easier, thanks to the patented disassembly tool. It offers a very high degree of particle separation and efficient water separation, while also being ideally equipped for future fuel filtration requirements, the company said.
“Efficient, fast, and clean – this is how the significantly improved handling of the PU 10 023/1 z KIT can be summed up,” explained Frank Bartel, product manager fuel filters at MANN+HUMMEL. This is made possible by the innovative handhold developed by
link hidden, please login to view, which facilitates disassembly and is included with every filter, and by the modern and functional design of the filter element and housing cover. Changing the filter without this grip, however, requires a lot of force and is only possible with pliers or similar tools. Resistant to Dirt and Water
“The innovative filter has an extremely high separation efficiency of more than 96 percent with a particle size of four micrometers,” MANN+HUMMEL said. “This means that 9,600 out of 10,000 incoming particles are retained. For context, these particles are up to 25 times smaller than a human hair.”
It is not only impurities that can have a negative effect on the components of the injection system, but also water droplets. This applies particularly to modern common rail systems, which place high demands on fuel quality. The MANN-FILTER PU 10 023/1 z KIT filters out more than 95 percent of the water contained in the fuel and operates in three stages, the company said.
In the first step, the filter medium reliably removes solid impurities from the diesel. The second filter stage works with a coalescing fleece that absorbs the finest water droplets from the fuel/water emulsion and combines them into much larger droplets. In the third filtration step, a water-repellent screen fabric ensures that the enlarged droplets do not enter the injection system. MANN+HUMMEL said it has developed this screen fabric in such a way that it is elastic and can withstand the mechanical requirements of pressure and temperature both during operation and at standstill. Bartel explains: “Thanks to its flexible design, it can effectively absorb the forces that arise and so has proven to be particularly robust, including in situations such as when the fuel freezes.”
The seal materials of this fuel filter are resistant to standard diesel, biodiesel variants, and novel synthetic diesel fuels such as hydrogenated vegetable oils (HVO). They have the corresponding OE approvals and ensure a permanent hold as well as the complete sealing of the filter.
Series Supplier
link hidden, please login to view said it has already started series production of this highly efficient fuel filter for a renowned vehicle manufacturer. The filter is available on the independent automotive aftermarket in original equipment quality as a PU 10 023/1 z KIT for various Ford Ranger pickup models and complements the extensive MANN-FILTER product range. MANN+HUMMEL has been granted a patent for the disassembly handhold by the German Patent and Trademark Office as well as in other countries. Worldwide, more than 1,200 researchers and developers at MANN+HUMMEL work on pioneering solutions with the aim of creating real added value and optimally meeting customer needs, the company said.

link hidden, please login to view said. These kits include an all-new high-pressure fuel pump, cam follower, the required seals, and mounting hardware. Ignition coils can lose spark energy over time, causing poor fuel mileage and reduced performance and if one coil fails, it is likely the others are on track to fail. Blue Streak Ignition Coil Multipacks include a full, matched set of new, better-performing coils, saving time, restoring performance and reducing comebacks. SMP said other popular kits include complete Standard Turbocharger Kits, Oil Filter Housing Kits, and Fuel Injector Multipacks and Blue Streak Blower Motor Resistor Kits, Camshaft and Crankshaft Sensor Kits, Variable Valve Timing (VVT) Service Kits and VVT Solenoid Kits. In the past two years, specific Blue Streak Kits have been awarded the Best New Product of the Year and Best Problem-Solver by the Import Vehicle Community, a community of the Auto Care Association.
New coverage has recently been introduced across many of these categories, according to SMP. Blue Streak GDI High-Pressure Fuel Pump Kits have been released for 3.7 million General Motor vehicles, like the 2019-16 Chevrolet Cruze, 2019-18 Chevrolet Equinox, and 2019-18 GMC Terrain. Standard Oil Filter Housing Kits are new for multiple popular makes and models, including the 2024-19 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 2024-19 RAM 1500, 2024-19 Dodge Durango, 2016-11 Volvo S60, and more. Blue Streak Cam and Crank Sensor Kits have been released for a variety of popular Ford vehicles, and Standard Turbocharger Kits are new for Ford, Volvo, and General Motors vehicles like the 2019-16 Chevrolet Cruze and Buick Encore, SMP said.
Commenting on the expansion, John Herc, vice president of vehicle control marketing at
link hidden, please login to view, said, “Parts professionals are looking for more complete kits and multipacks for a number of reasons. First, it helps technicians perform a complete repair without having to chase parts from multiple places. Additionally, service writers find it easier to explain one line item on an invoice rather than a list of parts. Whatever their reason, they look to Standard and Blue Streak for complete repair solutions.” The post
