Fuel Water Separator 361-9554 for Caterpillar Backhoe Loaders & Track-Type Tractors
361-9554 fuel water separator for Caterpillar 414E-444F2 backhoe loaders. OEM cross-reference verified. Bulk orders from IXIN Filter.
Description
This 361-9554 fuel water separator is an advanced-efficiency secondary fuel filter with a collar-lock mounting design, engineered as a direct replacement for the Caterpillar 361-9554. It’s the updated part number covering the same fitment as the earlier 228-9130, and it’s widely used across CAT’s E-series and F-series backhoe loader lineup as well as G-series track-type tractors.
Product Overview
The 361-9554 fuel water separator is designed to eliminate 100% of free water and approximately 90% of emulsified water from diesel fuel, along with smaller contaminants, helping extend the life of the secondary fuel filter and protect precision fuel injection components. As a collar-lock design, it secures to its housing with a locking collar rather than a standard spin-on thread. Each unit is dimensionally verified against OEM measurements and tested for filtration performance before shipment — not just matched by part number.
