Aviation fuel, including jet fuel and AVgas, needs to be extremely clean and dry as it is being loaded onto the aircraft. Depending on the flow rate, fuel type, and location in the fuel distribution system, you will need different filter cartridges. The closer the fuel is to being delivered to the aircraft, the cleaner and drier it must be. Velcon Filters is a reliable source of filter cartridges and filtration and separation vessels that provide high quality filtration for the fuel before and during the pumping of the fuel into the aircraft.
Velcon Filters manufactures hundreds of different fuel filter and oil filter cartridges, with a range of filtration efficiencies (micron ratings) in a variety of configurations, to meet specific industry filtration requirements. Filter cartridges qualified to military specifications are also offered.
Included is the industry’s most complete line of jet fuel filter cartridge sets qualified to test to the latest API/EI 1581 for use in Filter/Separators. CDF®-N Series monitor cartridges are qualified to the EI 1583 Monitor specifications. Also avalable are a line of filter cartridges qualified to API/EI 1590 Specification for prefilters.
Other cartridges are offered for the removal of granular and colloidal contaminants as well as surfactants. These cartridges provide optimum filtration performance when used in either Velcon filter vessels or in housings made by Quantek/Facet, Fram, Bendix, Bowser/Keene/Kaydon, Purolator, and numerous others.

Detect Free Water in Aviation Fuel
HYDROKIT® is a proven simple field test with consistent response in detecting free water in a wide variety of aviation jet (turbine) fuels and undyed diesel fuel.
HYDROKIT's simple evaluation by color comparison makes it easy to use. Powder in the sample tube changes to a pink color when free water is present over 30 ppm, or over 15 ppm, depending on which kit you order.
Each kit comes with sample test tubes, a wide mouth glass sample jar, needle holder assembly, instruction card and color indicator comparison card.
HydroKit® Mark II - similar in every way to our popular Hydrokit®, except with a longer shelf life than our regular Hydrokits® -- two years instead of one year.
Detects free water in excess of 30 ppm:
HK100MKII: 100 tests included per unit.
HK600MKII: 600 tests included (6 units of HK100MKII)
Detects free water in excess of 15 ppm:
HK100MKII-15: 100 tests included per unit.
HK600MKII-15: 600 tests included (6 units of HK100MKII-15)
VCA® Velcon Contaminant Analyzer
VCA® and VCA-CV: Final Protection from Contaminated and/or Wet Fuel
Product Description
The VCA® (Velcon Contaminant Analyzer) uses laser sensing technology to insure that the fuel being loaded onto commercial airliners is clean and dry. In the event of wet or dirty fuel (or both), the system can act as a final stage quality check downstream of last filtration, shut down the fueling operation, and alert the user with a minimal amount of contaminated fuel reaching the plane.

Here's help installing Velcon separator cartridges into vertical Fram VFCS filter separators:
Filter/Separators are two-stage vessels designed to remove dirt and separate water from fuel at refineries, product terminals, fuel farms, and on refueling vehicles. They continuously coalesce and separate water, which collects in the vessel sump where it can be drained. Velcon Filter/Separators have passed numerous tests qualifying them to the latest API/EI 1581 edition. Construction is to ASME Code. Units qualified to military specifications are also available.

Fixed Installations
Mobile Fueling Units
Coalescer Cartridges
Used as a first-stage cartridge in Filter/Separators. Remove particulates and coalesce water into large water drops. Also available in screw base design.
Separator Cartridges
Second stage cartridges in Filter/Separators repel coalesced water drops which then collect in the sump for easy removal. Available in Teflon® Coated Screen, Synthetic Media or Pleated Paper Media.
