Glacier Diesel Power Universal Inline Fleetguard FF5320 Fuel Filter Kit (FF5320-UK)
Description
Clean fuel is critical to the reliability of any diesel fuel system, whether the fuel is coming from a vehicle’s tank, a transfer tank, a slip tank, or onsite bulk storage.
The Glacier Diesel Power Universal Inline FF5320 Fuel Filter Kit provides a simple way to add a frame-mounted spin-on fuel filter to a custom diesel fuel system. It can be used when bypassing the factory fuel filter on a Cummins-powered Dodge Ram, building a custom lift-pump system, or adding filtration between a storage tank and the equipment being fueled.
The kit combines a Fleetguard FF5320 spin-on fuel filter with Glacier’s universal mounting bracket, installation hardware, and your choice of 3/8-inch or 1/2-inch Push-Lok fittings. This allows the assembly to be adapted to a wide range of diesel fuel applications without relying on a vehicle-specific mounting location or plumbing configuration.
For work trucks, farm equipment, generators, construction equipment, and diesel-powered machinery, the kit can also be installed on the outlet side of a transfer or storage tank to help capture contamination before it reaches the equipment’s onboard fuel system.

Why Add an Inline Fuel Filter?
Fuel contamination does not always begin inside the vehicle.
Diesel can collect dirt, rust, scale, and other debris while being stored, transferred, or dispensed. Portable fuel tanks, farm tanks, transfer pumps, hoses, and nozzles can all introduce contamination before the fuel reaches the truck or equipment.
Installing an inline filter provides an additional barrier between the fuel source and the components downstream.
Depending on where the kit is installed, it can help protect:
- Lift pumps
- Injection pumps
- Fuel injectors
- Regulators and valves
- Factory fuel filters
- Transfer-pump components
- Equipment fueled from portable or bulk storage
The filter does not clean the tank itself, but it can capture suspended particulate contamination before that material continues through the system.
Glacier Fuel System Tech Tip
The correct filter location depends on what you are trying to protect.
When installed on a vehicle, the filter should be positioned according to the requirements of the lift pump and the complete fuel-system design. Some pumps are designed to push through a fine filter more effectively than they can pull through one.
When installed on a transfer or storage tank, placing the filter after the transfer pump allows contaminated fuel to be filtered before it enters the receiving vehicle or equipment.
Always verify:
- The direction of fuel flow
- Whether the filter is installed before or after the pump
- The pump manufacturer’s filtration requirements
- The required hose diameter
- The expected flow rate
- The system’s operating pressure
- Whether water separation is also required
A filter can only protect the system when it is correctly sized, correctly positioned, and replaced before it becomes excessively restricted.
Why Glacier Built It This Way
A universal fuel filter kit needs to be adaptable without becoming a collection of mismatched parts.
Glacier designed this system around a dedicated frame-mount bracket and standard Push-Lok plumbing so it can be integrated cleanly into custom diesel fuel systems. Customers can select either 3/8-inch or 1/2-inch fittings to better match the hose size already being used in the application.
The spin-on filter design makes routine service straightforward. Rather than disassembling an enclosed housing, the filter can be removed and replaced using conventional service procedures.
The Fleetguard FF5320 uses a 1-14 UNS-2B mounting thread and measures approximately 3.68 inches in diameter and 6.94 inches tall. Those dimensions should be considered when selecting a mounting location and verifying service clearance.
The universal bracket allows the assembly to be mounted where it is accessible for inspection and filter replacement instead of being placed in a location that is difficult to service.
Vehicle and Equipment Applications
This is a universal kit rather than a vehicle-specific bolt-on system.
Potential applications include:
- Custom Cummins fuel systems
- Dodge Ram fuel filter bypass systems
- Custom lift-pump installations
- Diesel-powered trucks
- Agricultural equipment
- Construction equipment
- Diesel generators
- Off-road machinery
- Transfer tanks
- Slip tanks
- Farm fuel tanks
- Onsite diesel storage
- Mobile fueling systems
Compatibility depends on the plumbing, pump, pressure, available mounting space, and filtration requirements of the individual application.
Transfer Tank and Bulk Fuel Applications
Bulk and portable fuel storage can introduce a different set of contamination risks than an onboard vehicle tank.
Storage tanks may accumulate:
- Rust and scale
- Dirt entering through caps or vents
- Debris from hoses and nozzles
- Sediment disturbed during transport
- Contamination introduced during tank filling
Installing the Glacier inline filter on the dispensing side of the system helps filter the fuel as it leaves the storage tank.
This does not eliminate the need to inspect and maintain the tank. Heavy sediment, microbial contamination, or water accumulation should be corrected at the source rather than relying entirely on the filter to manage an unhealthy storage system.
Kit Contents
The Glacier Diesel Power Universal Inline FF5320 Fuel Filter Kit includes:
- Fleetguard FF5320 spin-on fuel filter
- Glacier universal mounting bracket
- Filter mounting components
- Required installation hardware
- Push-Lok fittings in the selected hose size
Available fitting options:
- 3/8-inch Push-Lok
- 1/2-inch Push-Lok
Fuel hose, additional adapters, shutoff valves, pressure gauges, water separators, and transfer pumps should only be listed as included when specifically selected or shown with the kit.
Important Notes
- This is a universal installation kit.
- Fabrication, drilling, hose routing, or additional fittings may be required.
- Confirm the direction of fuel flow before installation.
- Verify that the selected fittings match the fuel hose being used.
- Confirm pump and filter placement requirements before installation.
- Mount the filter where it is protected from road debris and impact.
- Provide enough clearance below the filter for future replacement.
- Keep the filter away from exhaust heat, sharp edges, and moving components.
- Use only diesel-compatible hose and sealing materials.
- Prime the system according to the pump manufacturer’s instructions.
- Inspect all connections for leakage after installation.
- Replace the filter based on restriction, fuel condition, service interval, and application.
- This filter is intended for particulate fuel filtration and should not automatically be described as a dedicated fuel/water separator unless that capability is confirmed for the exact element being supplied.
Common Failure Point
A fuel filter becomes a restriction as it captures contamination.
This is normal—it means the filter is doing its job. However, if the element is left in service too long, the pressure drop across the filter can increase enough to reduce fuel delivery.
Possible signs of a restricted filter may include:
- Reduced transfer-pump flow
- Extended equipment fill times
- Low fuel pressure
- Pump noise
- Hard starting
- Power loss under load
- Frequent pressure drop at higher fuel demand
An unusually short filter life may indicate a larger problem inside the fuel source. Repeatedly plugging filters should lead to an inspection of the storage tank, vehicle tank, pickup tube, hoses, and fuel quality.
