Synteq™ Media & Twist&Drain System

Modern common rail diesel injectors operate at up to 2,500 bar — a single 4-micron particle can cause injector failure. Donaldson Synteq synthetic fuel media achieves Beta 4 = 1000, meaning 99.9% removal of particles ≥4 µm. The Twist&Drain bowl system enables fast, clean no-spill filter changes in under two minutes.
