Product Details
The Turbosmart 10 Micron Replacement Fuel Filter Element (TS-0402-3001) is a genuine Turbosmart service component designed to restore filtration performance in compatible Turbosmart billet motorsport fuel filters. Featuring a 10-micron stainless steel filtration element, this replacement filter helps protect critical fuel system components by capturing fine contaminants before they reach the engine's fuel injectors.
Engineered for high-performance fuel delivery systems, the TS-0402-3001 provides effective filtration while maintaining compatibility with a wide range of automotive fuels, including conventional gasoline, ethanol blends, E85, methanol, and racing fuels.
The replacement element is specifically designed for Turbosmart's billet motorsport fuel filters equipped with -6AN, -8AN, and -10AN connections, allowing owners to service their existing filter assemblies without replacing the complete billet aluminum housing.
Fuel filtration is especially important in modified engines equipped with high-flow fuel pumps, aftermarket fuel rails, larger injectors, and adjustable fuel pressure regulators. Contaminants circulating through the fuel system can contribute to injector restrictions, inconsistent fuel delivery, and premature component wear.
The TS-0402-3001 uses a durable stainless steel filtration element designed to provide dependable protection in demanding performance applications. Its 10-micron filtration rating helps capture small particles that may otherwise pass through coarser filtration systems.
Whether maintaining a turbocharged Honda K20/K24, servicing a high-horsepower B-Series fuel system, or preparing a dedicated drag racing vehicle, the Turbosmart TS-0402-3001 Replacement Fuel Filter Element provides genuine Turbosmart fitment and reliable filtration performance.
This product is a replacement filter element only. The complete billet fuel filter housing and AN fittings are not included.

10 Micron Fuel Filtration
The TS-0402-3001 features a 10-micron filtration rating.
A micron is one-millionth of a meter, and the filtration rating describes the approximate particle size targeted by the filter media.
Fine fuel filtration is important for protecting precision fuel system components, particularly modern high-flow fuel injectors.
By capturing small contaminants, the replacement element helps maintain fuel cleanliness throughout the delivery system.
The 10-micron rating identifies the filtration size; it should not be interpreted as a specified absolute filtration efficiency without additional manufacturer data.
Stainless Steel Filter Construction
Turbosmart uses stainless steel filtration media in its billet motorsport fuel filter range.
Stainless steel offers durability and compatibility with demanding automotive fuel environments.
The construction is particularly useful in performance fuel systems exposed to ethanol blends, methanol, and racing fuels.
Compatible Turbosmart Billet Fuel Filters
The TS-0402-3001 is designed for the following Turbosmart fuel filter assemblies:
Turbosmart TS-0402-1130 – -6AN Billet Fuel Filter
-6AN inlet and outlet connections.
10-micron filtration.
Compatible with replacement element TS-0402-3001.
Turbosmart TS-0402-1131 – -8AN Billet Fuel Filter
-8AN inlet and outlet connections.
10-micron filtration.
Compatible with replacement element TS-0402-3001.
Turbosmart TS-0402-1132 – -10AN Billet Fuel Filter
-10AN inlet and outlet connections.
10-micron filtration.
Compatible with replacement element TS-0402-3001.
All three assemblies use the same replacement element, allowing convenient servicing across multiple fuel line sizes.
Gasoline and Racing Fuel Compatibility
The TS-0402-3001 is designed for use with conventional gasoline and compatible racing fuels.
This makes it suitable for a wide range of naturally aspirated and forced-induction performance applications.
Fuel compatibility should also be verified for the complete fuel system, including pumps, hoses, seals, injectors, and regulators.
Ethanol and E85 Compatibility
Ethanol-based fuels are commonly used in high-performance turbocharged applications.
The TS-0402-3001 is compatible with ethanol fuels, including E85.
This makes it suitable for properly configured flex-fuel and dedicated ethanol fuel systems.
Because ethanol can loosen existing deposits within older fuel systems, regular filter inspection is particularly important following a fuel conversion.
Methanol Fuel Compatibility
Methanol is frequently used in dedicated drag racing and high-output motorsport applications.
Turbosmart identifies the TS-0402-3001 as suitable for methanol fuel.
When using methanol, all other fuel system components must also be rated for methanol compatibility.
Fuel Injector Protection
Fuel injectors contain precision internal components and small fuel passages.
Contaminants reaching these components can contribute to restricted flow, inconsistent fuel delivery, and injector malfunction.
A properly maintained fuel filter helps reduce the amount of particulate contamination reaching the injectors.
Fuel Pump and Fuel Pressure System Maintenance
Fuel filtration is an essential part of maintaining consistent fuel delivery.
A heavily contaminated filter element can restrict fuel flow and contribute to reduced fuel pressure under load.
Replacing the filter element as needed helps maintain the intended performance of the fuel delivery system.
The filter should be inspected whenever fuel delivery restrictions or contamination are suspected.
Replacement Element vs. Complete Fuel Filter
Turbosmart TS-0402-3001 – Replacement Element
10-micron stainless steel filtration element.
Installs inside a compatible Turbosmart billet fuel filter.
Intended for maintenance and servicing.
Does not include the billet filter housing.
Does not include AN fittings.
Complete Turbosmart Billet Fuel Filter
Includes the external filter housing.
Provides the inlet and outlet fuel connections.
Contains the internal filtration element.
Available in -6AN, -8AN, and -10AN configurations.
The TS-0402-3001 allows owners to replace the filtration component while retaining their existing compatible housing.
Fuel Filter Placement
Fuel filter placement depends on the fuel system configuration.
Fine 10-micron filtration is commonly used on the pressure side of an EFI fuel system, downstream of the fuel pump.
However, some fuel systems require a separate coarse pre-filter before the pump.
Always follow the fuel pump manufacturer's filtration recommendations, as installing an overly restrictive filter on the pump inlet can cause fuel starvation and cavitation.
Recommended Maintenance
Fuel filter service intervals vary depending on fuel quality, vehicle use, fuel type, and operating conditions.
Performance vehicles operating on ethanol or methanol may require more frequent inspections.
Inspect or replace the element when:
Fuel pressure drops under load.
Fuel delivery becomes inconsistent.
Fuel contamination is discovered.
The fuel system has been opened for major repairs.
The vehicle undergoes a fuel system conversion.
The filter reaches the maintenance interval specified for the application.
