Fuel filter construction kit Blue.maxx

The flexible fuel filter concept also for alternative fuels

Due to the complex technology of today's combustion engines, the integration of a modern fuel filter system is essential since a large number of very fine particles and water droplets have to be reliably separated. In the future, alternative fuels and their blends will be increasingly used in commercial vehicles and in the off-highway sector, alongside alternative concepts such as electric drives, hydrogen engines and fuel cells. They can either be used in pure form or blended with fossil fuels.

In order to optimally adapt the fuel filter system to alternative fuels, Hengst has developed special test methods.

One example of the products developed in this way is the innovative Blue.maxx fuel filter system. It was developed on the basis of Hengst's comprehensive system and development expertise. The system is suitable for all current and expected future fuels used worldwide – on a fossil, biogenic and/or synthetic basis. To meet the diverse requirements of modern engine technology in the commercial vehicle and off-highway sectors, Hengst has designed the fuel filter system on a modular basis. It can be quickly and easily adapted to various applications as an OEM or retrofit solution.
