Recreational and Utility

Wet and muddy environments are no sweat for our recreational and utility vehicle filtration solutions that protect air intake and fuel systems.

Industry Challenges

The recreational and utility industry is rapidly evolving, and filtration solutions need to evolve with it. Diesel engines are being used for applications that need extra power, which means filtration options need to be available for both gasoline and diesel engines. They also need to maintain sufficient filter life while protecting the engine and maximizing performance. Air filtration provides particular challenges since there are a variety of contamination sources: dust-loading by ultra-fine to heavy particulates, airborne hydrocarbons and wet environments. Removal of water from fuel is also essential to minimize engine component wear and maximize engine power output.

Donaldson Solutions

Our air and fuel filtration solutions will keep recreational and utility vehicles off-road – where they should be. We are a global leader in filter-media design and development, and we’ll customize filtration solutions for your very specific needs.

Donaldson Filtration System Options

Air – Donaldson specializes in the small air cleaners needed for recreational/utility equipment, as well as specific solutions for wet and muddy environments. We offer standard and high-tech filter media like Ultra-Web^®, to provide the optimal combination of protection and airflow. Pre-cleaner stages can also be used to extend primary filter life.

Fuel – Recreational and utility vehicle engines require greater efficiency combined with reduced emissions. As long as fuel is protected from water and particulate contamination, fuel distribution efficiency can be improved with high-pressure common-rail (HPCR) injectors. We offer leading filtration media options to provide this protection, including the high-performing primary fuel filter water separator system that features Synteq™ DRY coalescing technology. Plus, our secondary fuel filters that use Synteq XP™ media remove particulate contamination four times better than our competitors’ best alternatives.
