Stainless Steel case and face increased from 2.0 inches to 2.5 inches diameter for easier reading. The improved cases feature a pressure relief valve to adjust to ambient barometric pressure changes.
Gauges with acrylic lenses upgraded to polycarbonate. Needle stops replaced with internal locking mechanism to prevent damage due to an accidental overpressure. Internal sealing at the fitting, lens, and pressure relief valve reduces the likelihood of internal contamination by splashing fluids
Racor Dash Mounted Vacuum Gauge
Same specifications as the gauge above just mounted in your dashboard and connected with 1/4 transparent hose and compression fittings.
Racor Water Alarm Detection and Filter Restriction Kit is designed to be used. With all Racor Turbine Series or Marine Turbine Series fuel filter/water separator assemblies. This kit is manufactured. using the highest quality materials and is 100% electronically tested before
leaving the factory. this detection module has a self‑diagnosis feature that illuminates the DRAIN WATER LED and sounds a buzzer at each power-up. If no water is present, the light and buzzer will shut off within 2-5 seconds.
KEENANFILTERS
A compact dual filter diesel fuel management system perfect for small to mid-size engines.
Our full feature MK60DP EFS system is an advanced double filter model that offers everything you need to keep your fuel clean and motor running smoothly.
A compact design capable of fitting in tight spaces, it does far more than just filter your fuel.
It also keeps your entire fuel system clean through a preventative process called “fuel polishing,” which removes contaminants,
water and impurities before they are ingested into the engine.
It’s double filter functionality also allows you to switch filters on the fly without stopping the motors using the EFS system.
The MK60DP EFS includes a remote warning panel to alert you about any potential problems,
as well as an integrated fuel pumps for bleeding, priming and backup of the main engine fuel pump.
It also uses commonly available Racor® filters, so you know you should be able to find a new one no matter where you are in the world.
Benefits of using KEENAN dual filters
- Dual filter design allows for filter switching and replacement without stopping motor(s)
- Fuel polishing ensure clean fuel delivery, no matter the source, for reduced maintenance costs
- Remote warning panel alerts operator of problems before they get to the motor and can be installed in any location convenient for the operator.
- Advance warning also allows for use of finer micron filter.
- Includes our optional EFS system that allows for remote manual, or automatic, filter changes from warning panel.
- Separate fuel pump can be used as back-up if main motor pumps fail.
- System testing allows operator to verify fuel system integrity before operation or after maintenance.
- Optional pressure transducer monitors vacuum and data logging and settings
- Optional GSM interface for remote monitoring available – call for details.
- Uses widely available genuine Racor® elements.
- Machined from high quality aluminum & stainless.
