OE: 0024773001 Fuel Filter for Mercedes-Benz Diesel Engines | Mercedes-Benz

The OE: 0024773001 fuel filter is engineered for Mercedes-Benz diesel platforms that rely on clean and stable fuel delivery to support modern common-rail systems.
It removes fine contaminants and moisture before fuel reaches the high-pressure pump and injectors.
This filter supports smooth combustion, predictable torque output, and consistent performance during commercial use, long-distance travel, and daily operation.
Its design delivers reliable filtration across varied environments and fuel conditions.

Compatibility

This fuel filter fits Mercedes-Benz models powered by the following diesel engines:

• OM646 diesel engine

• OM651 diesel engine

• OM642 V6 diesel engine

Supported applications include:

• Sprinter W906 / W907 Diesel

• Vito / Viano W639 / W447 Diesel

• GL-Class Diesel (selected markets)

• ML-Class Diesel (selected markets)

• R-Class Diesel

• C-Class and E-Class Diesel variants in selected regions

Its OE housing geometry ensures a direct-fit installation without modification.
It performs reliably in markets where diesel quality differs by region and supplier.

Filtration / Material / Mechanical Design

The filter features a multi-layer synthetic medium designed to capture fine particles while maintaining steady flow.
Its metal housing supports durability under pressure fluctuations and temperature changes common in diesel operation.
Integrated water-separation components help manage moisture within the fuel system.
OE-grade sealing interfaces support stable pressure and prevent air intrusion.
The filter performs well in commercial environments, highway travel, and warm climates.

Flow Stability & Engine Protection

Clean filtration improves injector spray accuracy and supports stable combustion.
The filter supports smooth idling and dependable cold-start performance.
Stable fuel delivery reduces stress on the high-pressure pump during heavy-duty operation or long-distance driving.
By removing contaminants, the filter supports long-term reliability of the entire common-rail system.
