Fuel Filter 228-9130 for Caterpillar Backhoe Loaders
228-9130 fuel filter for Caterpillar 414E-430E backhoe loaders. OEM cross-reference verified. Bulk and OEM orders welcome from IXIN Filter.
Description
This 228-9130 fuel filter is a secondary fuel/water separator with a collar-lock design, engineered as a direct replacement for the Caterpillar 228-9130. It’s one of the most commonly replaced fuel filters across CAT’s E-series backhoe loader lineup, designed to remove water and fine contaminants from diesel fuel to protect the fuel injection system.
Product Overview
The 228-9130 fuel filter uses cellulose filter media designed to remove 100% of free water and the majority of emulsified water from diesel fuel, along with fine particulate contamination. As a secondary filter with a collar-lock mounting design, it’s built to seal securely and extend the service life of downstream fuel system components. Each unit is dimensionally verified against OEM measurements and tested for filtration performance before shipment — not just matched by part number.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this filter remove water from the fuel? Yes. The 228-9130 is a fuel/water separator designed to remove free water and fine contaminants before fuel reaches the injection system.
What’s a “collar-lock” fuel filter? It refers to the mounting design, which uses a locking collar to secure the filter to its housing rather than a standard spin-on thread. This design is specific to certain CAT backhoe loader fuel systems.
Will this fit all the backhoe loader models listed? It fits the E-series and related models listed above, but fuel system configurations can vary by production year and serial number range. We recommend confirming your machine’s specific configuration before ordering, especially for bulk purchases.
Do you offer samples before a bulk order? Yes. We recommend requesting a sample for independent testing before committing to a bulk order, especially for first-time buyers.
