Aeromotive 10-Micron Fabric Replacement Filter Element | For Aeromotive 12301 / 12306 / 12321 Filter Assemblies | Up to 250 GPH | Up to 2,000 Flywheel HP on Gasoline

The Aeromotive 10-Micron Fabric Replacement Filter Element (AER12601) is the correct replacement filter element for Aeromotive's 12301, 12306, and 12321 fuel filter assemblies — a high-flow, 10-micron fabric element with over 60 square inches of filter surface area, a flow capacity of up to 250 GPH (4.17 GPM) with less than 1 PSI pressure drop, and support for up to 2,000 flywheel horsepower on gasoline with forced induction. Recommended for applications burning pump gas, racing gas, diesel fuel, jet fuel, and av-gas. Not recommended for alcohol fuels including ethanol and methanol. Aeromotive is the most respected fuel system manufacturer in the North American performance market — an American manufacturer whose fuel pumps, filters, regulators, and fuel system components are the reference standard for high-performance and competition fuel system builds.

Key Features:

• 10-micron fabric element — 10-micron filtration rating — removes particles 10 microns and larger from the fuel stream — correct filtration level for protecting fuel injectors and carburettor needle valves in high-performance fuel systems
• Over 60 sq. in. of element surface area — large filter surface area supports high flow rates while providing good service life between element replacements
• Up to 250 GPH flow capacity — flow capacity of up to 250 GPH (4.17 GPM) with less than 1 PSI pressure drop — correct for high-flow fuel system applications up to 2,000 flywheel HP on gasoline
• Less than 1 PSI pressure drop — minimal restriction across the filter element — correct for maintaining fuel pressure at the regulator and injectors/carburettor in high-demand fuel systems
• Supports up to 2,000 flywheel HP — rated for up to 2,000 flywheel HP on gasoline with forced induction — correct for the most demanding street and competition gasoline fuel system applications
• Gasoline, racing gas, diesel, jet fuel, av-gas compatible — correct for a wide range of non-alcohol fuel types
• Not for alcohol fuels — not recommended for ethanol (E85, E100) or methanol — alcohol fuels require a stainless steel element (see Aeromotive's stainless element lineup)
• Replacement element for 12301 / 12306 / 12321 — correct replacement element for Aeromotive's 12301, 12306, and 12321 filter assemblies
• Aeromotive quality — manufactured by Aeromotive, the most respected fuel system manufacturer in the North American performance market

Compatible Aeromotive Fuel Pumps:

• EFI applications (small to medium pumps): Ideal for gasoline EFI engines with Aeromotive fuel pumps from the Phantom 200 through the Eliminator pump
• Carbureted applications: Popular for demanding gasoline carbureted engine applications using Aeromotive HO-Series, SS-Series, and A2000 fuel pumps

10-Micron Fabric vs. Stainless Element — Choosing the Correct Element:

• 10-Micron Fabric (this product, AER12601): Correct for gasoline, racing gas, diesel, jet fuel, and av-gas applications. Not for alcohol fuels. Disposable — replace at regular service intervals.
• Stainless Steel Element: Required for alcohol fuel applications (E85, E100, methanol). Cleanable and re-usable. See Aeromotive's stainless element lineup for the correct part number for your filter assembly.

Fitment Information:

• Aeromotive 12301 Filter Assembly
• Aeromotive 12306 Filter Assembly
• Aeromotive 12321 Filter Assembly
• Note: Verify your specific Aeromotive filter assembly part number before ordering — confirm that AER12601 is the correct replacement element for your specific filter assembly. Do not use this element with alcohol fuels (ethanol or methanol) — use Aeromotive's stainless steel element for alcohol fuel applications.

What's Included:

• 1x Aeromotive 10-micron fabric replacement filter element (AER12601)

Installation Notes:

• Replace the filter element at regular service intervals — a clogged or restricted filter element will reduce fuel flow and fuel pressure, causing lean conditions and potential engine damage
• Inspect the filter housing O-rings when replacing the element — replace any worn or damaged O-rings to prevent fuel leaks
• Ensure the filter housing is correctly reassembled and all fittings are tight after element replacement — inspect for fuel leaks before starting the engine
• Do not use this fabric element with ethanol or methanol fuels — alcohol fuels require Aeromotive's stainless steel element

Why Aeromotive?

Aeromotive is the most respected fuel system manufacturer in the North American performance market — an American manufacturer whose fuel pumps, filters, regulators, and fuel system components are the reference standard for high-performance and competition fuel system builds. Aeromotive's replacement filter elements are manufactured to the same specifications as the original elements supplied with their filter assemblies — correct filtration rating, correct surface area, and correct flow capacity for the specific filter assembly. For Aeromotive 12301, 12306, and 12321 filter assembly owners who need a genuine replacement 10-micron fabric element, AER12601 is the correct part.

Perfect For:

• Aeromotive 12301, 12306, and 12321 filter assembly owners who need a genuine 10-micron fabric replacement element for regular service intervals on gasoline, racing gas, diesel, jet fuel, or av-gas fuel systems
• High-performance gasoline EFI and carbureted fuel system builds using Aeromotive fuel pumps from the Phantom 200 through the Eliminator, HO-Series, SS-Series, and A2000 where the 10-micron fabric element provides correct filtration and flow capacity up to 2,000 flywheel HP

Note: Not for alcohol fuels (ethanol or methanol) — use Aeromotive stainless steel element for alcohol applications. Verify correct filter assembly compatibility before ordering. Replace O-rings when servicing. Inspect for fuel leaks after installation.
