Description
Overview
The FASS XWS3002 Extreme Water Separator is a precision-engineered replacement filter designed to protect your diesel fuel system from the two things that damage injectors and pumps most: water and fine contaminants. Rated at 2 microns absolute, this more efficient water separator captures moisture directly within the filter element itself, delivering cleaner, drier fuel to your engine. Whether you’re performing routine maintenance or upgrading from discontinued components, the XWS3002 (Part No. XWS3002) is a genuine FASS Fuel Systems component built for Truck/SUV applications.
Why the New Design Matters
Traditional water separators rely on a drain to remove trapped moisture. FASS re-engineered that approach. The XWS3002 no longer has a drain because the filter media traps and holds the water inside the element, simplifying your fuel filter change and reducing the maintenance steps involved in changing the fuel filter. When it’s time for a diesel fuel filter service, you simply replace the element and get back on the road with confidence that your fuel is being filtered to a 2-micron absolute standard.
Important Compatibility Notes
The XWS3002 must be used in conjunction with the PF3001. These new filters cannot be combined with the older FF-3003/FF-3010 or FS-1001/FS-1020 elements. When you replace the discontinued filters with the new XWS3002 and PF3001 pairing, the orientation changes: the XWS3002 is now placed on the pressure side of the system, while the PF3001 is installed on the suction side. Following this configuration ensures your FASS system performs exactly as designed and that each stage of filtration does its job.
Key Highlights
- 2-micron absolute filtration for superior contaminant and water removal

Fitment
The XWS3002 is intended for Truck/SUV FASS fuel system setups and is a required companion to the PF3001. Before installation, confirm you are running the compatible new-generation filters, as this Extreme Water Separator will not work with the older element families listed above. Positioning it correctly on the pressure side is essential to proper operation.
Keep your fuel delivery clean, dry, and protected. Trust genuine FASS filtration to safeguard your injectors, pump, and overall engine health with every diesel fuel filter change. Order the XWS3002 Extreme Water Separator and maintain the performance your FASS system was built to provide.
