Parker Racor has recently introduced its new ‘Why Buy Racor’ brochure. This publication takes an objective look at unauthorised Racor fuel filter copies and seeks to give helpful advice on the issues that can arise from using counterfeit products.

There can be no doubt that an investment in engines and fuel is significant. Every engine runs better and lasts longer with a system that cleans and treats fuel, therefore it is imperative that aftermarket spares fitted during routine maintenance conform to original manufacturers’ specifications and are genuine. This brochure highlights the benefits a customer can expect to receive when buying a genuine Racor product, the standards used in manufacturing and the international legislation they comply to.

“The issue of fuel filter copies is constantly being addressed here at Parker Racor,” states Derek Martin, Aftermarket Business Development Manager at Parker Racor. “To fit non genuine parts is a mistake that will almost certainly cause problems in terms of productivity, engine life, cost and lost profit. This brochure gives operators useful advice on what to expect if they fit copied spares”

Genuine Racor spares are available through its network of approved distributors and you can request your copy of this new brochure from them or via filtrationinfo@parker.com
