Wärtsilä 32 Fuel Oil Suction Filter

Application Notes

Filtration of fuel within the fuel oil system of the Wärtsilä 32 marine engine. The suction filter is identified as 1F06 – Suction filter (booster unit) in the official Wärtsilä documentation. The exact filter element, filtration characteristics, dimensions and replacement specification must be verified against the installed unit and applicable Wärtsilä documentation before replacement.

Additional Notes

The Wärtsilä 32 Fuel Oil Suction Filter is identified in Wärtsilä documentation as 1F06 – Suction filter (booster unit). Wärtsilä specifies that a suction strainer with a fineness of 0.5 mm should be installed before each fuel feed pump in the feeder/booster system. The available documentation does not explicitly state that this fineness is a specification for component 1F06 itself. The exact filter construction, filter media, dimensions and manufacturer part number are not specified in the available Wärtsilä 32 documentation reviewed here. These details should therefore not be assumed without confirmation from the installed component or the applicable booster-unit documentation. The filter should be matched to the installed Wärtsilä 32 fuel-oil system and booster-unit configuration before ordering or replacement.
