When you say no water separator do you mean that there is no place for the electrical sensor? I am not familiar with the product you mention. Also, I have yet to find any water in my drained fuel. Is there a drain on the filter you mention?

Siberia... Yes there is no water drain so the electrical have to stay aside. the kit is cat #175-2949 it come with an adapter for the filter that you install (for a different thread) and then you install the filter. the filter is made by caterpillar. I was looking yesterday for a filter for our system and i found a filter cross reference made by Wix and the # is 33647 for about $26.00 but no mention of the micron rating. If i find that the micron is 10 or less i will buy it and forget about the conversion.

Nescosmo,
You have to consider 2 microns for the fuel filter rating. The moving components of the injectors and pump are machined with a very tight tolerance. If larger solid particles reach the high pressure side of the pump, you may face expensive issues.

Can we assume then that the WIX 33647 that is specified for the CRD fits the requirement of 2 microns? I did not have any luck tracking down a WIX a year ago. It was a special order item that was not available. According to the WIX web site it should be available now.

I looked at WIX web site and found nothing concerning filtration size:
http://www.rockauto.com/dbphp/mfr,WIX,Fuel%252FAir,6200,Fuel+Filter
Then "Part Number Search" tab
Part Number: 33647
Principal Application: Jeep Liberty w/ 2.8L Common Rail Diesel (05-06) All Applications
Style: Spin-On Fuel/Water Separator Filter
Service: Fuel
Type: Full Flow
Media: Paper
Height: 7.322
Outer Diameter Top: 3.444
Outer Diameter Bottom: Closed
Thread Size: 16X1.5 MM
Gasket Diameters:
O.D. 2.770
I.D. 2.440
Thk. 0.240
Personally speaking I would not use this cartridge because two main functions will be removed:
- The water in fuel sensing
- The pre-heating of the fuel for winter use.
Don't you have a Parker Racor equivalent? Mine is the R20S. It's the clone of the Mopar filter, and Parker once wrote they were doing good business with Chrysler Marine Diesel

I found this code concerning the Grand Cherokee. It could be similar to the Liberty CRD.
P0178:
-Water in Fuel Light—Water In Fuel Sensor Voltage Too Low
Cause:
- Loss of water-in-fuel circuit or sensor.

Caribout1.... If you look at the filter the filter is a clone of the mopar filter. The one that don't have the water fuel sensing orifes is the cat175-2949 that lubrication specialist are selling as the replacement for the mopar filter. I am with you for the sensor, but the source said that you do not need that sensor because as soon as the water get in to the paper filter it will destroy it. Can we replaced the housing assembly with the racor 645 housing assembly and filter. I will look at the R20s on the web.

Caribou1.... I look at the R20s and it does not look like the mopar at all also the racor645 that i mention i think is too big for the jeep; I was talking about the racor 445 housing assembly. I think it could work with the S filter.

Caribou1.... I just read in the KJ Service Manual on page 14-52 of the CD it said:- The fuel filter has a 3 micron element and tightens clock-wise to the housing.(fig.9)- so if the service manual is correct then we should not worry about it.
