REPLACEMENT FILTER 3581078

Function and technical context

The replacement filter with reference 3581078 acts as a filtration barrier in the fuel and lubrication system of marine diesel engines, retaining particles, impurities and contaminants that could deteriorate internal components of the propeller. It works integrated into the primary filtration circuit of the engine, being a consumer element that requires periodic replacement to maintain the pressure and quality of the fluid within the parameters required by the manufacturers Volvo Penta and Perkins. Its correct installation protects injection pumps, injectors and bearings against abrasion caused by suspended particles, extending the useful life of the drive assembly. Manufactured as a direct replacement part – without mounting bracket – for easy installation during periodic maintenance operations on professional and recreational boats.

When to replace this part?

The most common symptoms that indicate that the 3581078 filter has exhausted its retention capacity are: progressive loss of engine power, irregularities in idling, increased fuel consumption or oil pressure out of range. In diesel marine engines, it is recommended to replace the filter element every 100-250 hours of operation or at least once per nautical season, following the maintenance plan indicated by Volvo Penta and Perkins for each engine series. Replacing this filter preventively at each seasonal inspection is the most economical measure to avoid serious breakdowns in the injection or lubrication system far from the port.
