The OE: 0024773801 fuel filter is engineered for Mercedes-Benz diesel platforms and supports the fuel-quality requirements of modern common-rail systems.
It removes fine contaminants and water before fuel enters the high-pressure pump and injectors.
The filter helps maintain smooth combustion, steady torque delivery, and consistent performance during commercial use and daily driving.
Its design supports long-distance travel, cargo transport, and mixed operating environments.
Compatibility
This fuel filter fits multiple Mercedes-Benz diesel models powered by the following engines:
-
OM646 diesel engine
-
OM651 diesel engine
-
OM642 V6 diesel engine
Supported vehicle applications include:
-
Mercedes-Benz Sprinter (906 / 907)
-
Mercedes-Benz Vito / Viano (W639 / W447)
-
Mercedes-Benz ML / GL diesel variants
The filter works as the main fine filtration unit and integrates with the Mercedes two-stage diesel filtration layout.
Its housing, sealing interfaces, and connector geometry match OE specifications for correct installation.
Filtration / Material / Mechanical Design
The filter features a multi-layer synthetic medium that captures fine particulate matter without restricting fuel flow.
Its reinforced metal housing provides durability under pressure cycles and temperature variations.
Integrated water-separation structures help manage moisture within the fuel system.
OE-grade ports and seals maintain consistent pressure and protect against air intrusion.
The filter maintains stable performance in heavy-duty commercial use, highway driving, and high-temperature regions.
Flow Stability & Engine Protection
Clean fuel supports precise injector spray patterns and smooth combustion.
The filter assists with reliable cold-start behavior and stable idling.
Steady fuel flow reduces load on the high-pressure pump during long-distance operation or when the vehicle carries heavy cargo.
By removing contaminants, the filter supports long-term reliability for the entire diesel injection system.

Maintenance Replacement (Official Interval)
Mercedes-Benz diesel platforms recommend replacing the fine fuel filter every 20,000–30,000 km, depending on fuel conditions.
Shorter intervals are suitable in regions with inconsistent diesel quality.
Technicians should inspect for moisture and debris during scheduled service.
