TOP 10 best fuel filter manufacturers
10 UFI
Country: Italy
Rating (2022): 4.2
European automakers are always trying to put locally produced consumables on their cars. For example, this brand is the main supplier of several European companies, and in addition, it produces products for the secondary market, that is, spare parts. The company's arsenal is quite extensive, and if you look through authoritative magazines 5-10 years old, you can find very high ratings from testers in them.
But over the years, experts began to rate lower and lower, and as they themselves explain this trend, the brand began to master the production capacities of the Celestial Empire. As a result, this led to a significant decrease in quality, and cheaper products. Now this is a completely ordinary brand, which does not stand out among the general mass of companies that produce fuel filters and other consumables. By the way, as for the main plant, it continues to cooperate with automakers' concerns, and products of much higher quality are supplied to their warehouses than to the secondary market.
9 Mann filter
Country: Germany
Rating (2022): 4.3
And so we got to the leader of our rating. Yes, yes, exactly the leader, and why he is in such a place of honor, we will tell a little lower. Mann needs no introduction. For almost a hundred years, she has been producing the best spare parts for various cars.Today, its products occupy about 90 percent of the world market, and for diesel trucks, these products are completely out of competition. The company is constantly expanding its range, and you can even find fuel filters for VAZ on the market, although it would seem where such a connection comes from.
So what is the disadvantage of the brand, and why is it not at the top of the rankings? Everything is simple: this is one of the most expensive manufacturers. Its products are so expensive that it amazes even experienced motorists. And if there is practically no alternative for owners of diesel trucks, at least in terms of price and quality, then owners of passenger cars can easily find a cheaper analogue, especially when it comes to such a relatively simple element as a fuel filter.
8 Easterner
Country: Taiwan
Rating (2022): 4.4
Many companies that produce fuel filters today initially did something completely different, and only much later mastered the production of this, in fact, simple equipment. The Taiwanese company Easterner is one of them. Initially, it is a manufacturer of deck equipment, that is, it produces spare parts for boats. At the facilities of the company, the production of fuel equipment for boats, and later for cars, was also established.
Frankly, the brand is rather weak, and its products are not cheap. But the main drawback – a narrow range of products. Here you will not find filters for VAZ or diesel engines. The company produces only a few models for certain brands, and therefore is not very well represented in the local market.True, independent testers gave the manufacturer's products quite high marks, noting that if the company expanded the arsenal of its products, it could well compete with famous brands.
7 MASUMA
Country: Japan
Rating (2022): 4.5
For many car enthusiasts, the brand's belonging to Japan is already a certain guarantee of quality. And partly it is so, but as experience shows, Japanese products are not always the standard of quality, as happened with MASUMA, which is widely represented on the Russian market. We note right away that the products are not cheap, which is not surprising given the transportation costs and the location of the main production facilities in Japan. Now with regards to quality. On the Internet, it is easy to find a lot of reviews about the company's products, including fuel filters. And these reviews are not the best, on the contrary.
The wave of negativity is so big that it forced the manufacturer to master the Russian media space. Today, company representatives are present at all major forums for motorists. They respond to props and claim that the overgrown negativity is nothing but the intrigues of competitors. Whether it is true or not, it is difficult to judge, but the fact remains, and whether or not to install filters from this manufacturer is up to you.
6 Filtron
Country: Poland
Rating (2022): 4.6
It is believed that the best manufacturers of spare parts are those that are official suppliers for automakers. That is, it is their products that are installed on machines, directly at the factory. Before us is just such a manufacturer that produces fuel systems for VW, Daewoo and Ford.It would seem, what could be a catch if such mastodons of the automotive market trust the company. But there is a catch, or rather it appeared about 10 years ago.
As noted by experts and independent testers, in the 2000s, the company really produced products for the secondary market, and they were not inferior to those supplied to factories. But then something changed in the company's policy, and today it has a lot of complaints. Note the poor quality of packaging and transportation. Very often almost open filters get into warehouses, which is unacceptable for such products. The quality of the materials used in the production has also clearly decreased. At the same time, the price did not decrease, and in addition to everything, the market was flooded with fakes of even lower quality.
5 EMGO
Country: Japan
Rating (2022): 4.6
Modern fuel filter manufacturers do not focus on a particular product, trying to capture the largest possible audience. They have dozens and hundreds of items in their arsenal, even if the main focus was originally filters for diesel engines or consumables for VAZ. The same fate befell the Japanese brand EMGO, which initially produced only consumables for motorcycles of local manufacturers. This is the official supplier of Yamaha, Honda, Suzuki and many other concerns, but over time the motor market seemed cramped to him, and today the shelves are littered with fuel filters for various cars.
Has the quality been maintained? As independent studies show, yes, it has. The brand's products are really of high quality and reliable, but it has one significant drawback - the price.Perhaps the company produces the best fuel filters, but they are so expensive that for the cost of one filter you can buy and supply a dozen cheaper analogues, many of which will not be inferior in quality. Well, if you are a connoisseur of everything original, then this product is for you. For everyone else, there are more interesting offers.
4 CHAMPION
Country: USA
Rating (2022): 4.7
Before us is the most famous brand, originally engaged exclusively in the production of spark plugs. For more than a hundred years, this brand has been cooperating with leading American and European auto concerns, being the main supplier of components for them. The company also produces filters, both air and fuel, and this is by far the best product on the market today.
But the popularity of the brand played a cruel joke with him. The modern market is simply bursting with a huge number of fakes, which are dangerous and unprofitable to install. The company is trying to defend itself in every way, but analogues with the company logo do not stop penetrating the shelves. Buying products of this brand, you get guaranteed quality, but only on condition that it is an original product, and not a fake. There are many ways to determine originality, from analyzing the original code to having a complex hologram. In any case, before buying and supplying such a spare part, be sure to study all the methods for determining the original brand, and only after that go to the store.
3 DELPHI
Country: USA
Rating (2022): 4.8
All motorists have heard about this company in at least 33 countries of the world.It is in such a number of countries that the production facilities of a manufacturer that produces the most diverse range of auto parts, from fuel filters to full-fledged internal combustion engines, are located. The company is originally from the USA, where it has established itself as the best manufacturer of diesel components. Over time, production was expanded, and new factories appeared first in Europe, then China and Singapore, and finally in Russia.
Today it is one of the most popular brands that produces parts for both VAZ and expensive foreign cars, but as experts say, there is a huge difference between products manufactured in the USA or Europe and Chinese or Russian counterparts. It is difficult to say what this is connected with, most likely, with insufficient control on the part of the brand owner. But, on the local market, these are one of the cheapest filters, the quality is not inferior to many local manufacturers, and often surpasses them.
2 TSN
Country: Russia
Rating (2022): 4.9
One of the most famous Russian brands that flooded the market with its products. Under this brand, not only fuel filters are produced, but also timing belts, as well as brake pads and much more. How does this brand win the attention of the audience? First of all, the price. This is the cheapest product on the market, and if we are talking specifically about filters, then they are not inferior in quality to more well-known brands that increase the cost only for their name.
True, there are some subtleties here. For example, one reputable magazine conducted a study that showed that the fuel filters of this manufacturer are really of high quality, but there are difficulties with the rest of the products.In particular, brake pads are often not the right size, and timing belts and other moving parts are generally not reliable. But they are cheap, and you can always buy them and put them in the nearest auto parts store. Simply put, this manufacturer's products cannot be called the best, but they have the lowest prices and maximum availability, ensured by direct contacts with the largest sellers of automotive parts.
1 BIG FILTER
Country: Russia
Rating (2022): 4.9
Russian manufacturer producing filters of all types. The company's arsenal includes both filters for VAZ and a number of foreign cars. The company is proud that its products are sold not only in Russia, but are also exported, including to Europe and America. The company has been operating since 1988, and over the years it has received a lot of various awards at various exhibitions. This is another reason for pride and a certain guarantee of quality.
But awards are one thing, and user reviews are quite another. And the company is fine with that too. The company's products are recommended by both small workshops and eminent publications, which conduct their own, independent tests, showing excellent results. Buyers will also be pleased with the price, which, due to the location of factories in Russia, namely in St. Petersburg, is quite democratic. This is the case when a truly high-quality product costs reasonable money, moreover, it was developed and produced by a local manufacturer, and not by a noname from China or Korea, which is often simply dangerous to install.
