Wix Racing Fuel/Water Separator — Compact High-Flow Inline Filter to Protect Injectors & Pumps

The WIX Racing Filters Fuel/Water Separator is a dedicated fuel filter that removes water and contaminants to protect high‑performance engines during racing and demanding driving conditions.

Designed by WIX for motorsport and performance applications, this compact fuel/water separator combines fine filtration media with a corrosion‑resistant housing to reduce fuel system contamination. It’s intended for installations where separating water from fuel and trapping particulates preserves injectors, pumps, and valve components. The product ships singly in a small package and is manufactured in China.

How does this separator protect a race engine?

The separator captures water and particulate before they reach the fuel pump and injectors, reducing the risk of performance loss or mechanical damage. Its racing-grade media balances efficient particle removal with flow capacity for high‑demand applications.

• Dual-purpose design: coalesces water and filters solid contaminants.
• High‑flow media suitable for elevated fuel demand.
• Protects downstream components like pumps and injectors.
• Compact size fits tight engine bays common in race setups.

What are the physical specs and dimensions?

The unit comes in a single‑piece package with compact dimensions that make it easy to relocate or retrofit in many vehicles. Knowing the size helps plan mounting points, hose routing, and clearances in performance builds.

• Package dimensions: 10.414 cm (L) x 10.414 cm (W) x 18.796 cm (H).
• Product type: fuel filter with fuel/water separation capability.
• Package quantity: one filter per purchase.
• Origin: manufactured in China.

How do I install and maintain the WIX fuel/water separator?

Installation typically involves replacing an existing inline filter or adding the separator where fuel lines are accessible; basic mechanical tools are sufficient for most installs. Regular inspections and periodic draining (if equipped with a drain) or replacement are recommended to sustain filtration performance.

• Fit inline with fuel flow direction; secure with appropriate clamps.
• Inspect for leaks after initial start‑up and during routine checks.
• Replace on schedule or when visible contamination or reduced flow occurs.
• Use compatible fuel line sizes and fittings to avoid flow restriction.

Will this work for street and track use?

Yes — the unit is engineered to serve both high‑load racing environments and demanding street applications where water contamination is a concern. It’s a practical upgrade for anyone seeking added protection without large packaging or complex plumbing.

• Suitable for high‑performance and daily‑driver engines needing extra water protection.
• Compact footprint fits many vehicle engine bays and inline setups.
• Single‑unit sale allows selective replacement or trial installation.
• Manufactured to meet performance expectations typical of motorsport filters.

Who is this for? If you’re a racer, tuner, or performance‑minded driver who wants to reduce fuel system downtime and protect critical components from water and debris, the WIX Racing Filters Fuel/Water Separator is a compact, serviceable option. It suits builders retrofitting fuel systems, teams needing reliable filtration under race conditions, and enthusiasts upgrading stock filters for improved contamination control. Check physical clearances and hose compatibility before purchase to ensure the best fit for your setup.
