Racor

Racor is one of the most respected names in filtration, particularly for fuel systems where water and particles can cause downtime, corrosion and unnecessary wear. The company was founded in 1969 in Modesto, California, and became part of Parker Hannifin in 1985.

What are Racor filters used for?

Racor develops filtration technology for fuel, pneumatic and hydraulic systems with a focus on fuel, oil, water and air filtration. In practice, Racor is often found in applications where stable operation and engine protection are critical – for example marine, industry and transport.

Aquabloc – why is it mentioned so often?

One of Racor's best-known products is the Aquabloc filter medium, which has helped set a global standard for efficient filtration and water separation in diesel systems. The idea is simple: the earlier you stop water and solid particles, the better the engine components are protected, and the more consistent the performance becomes.
