The Purolator 047546-17 is an FAA-PMA approved fuel filter element assembly used in aircraft fuel systems, commonly in Bell helicopter applications such as the 205A-1, 212, 407, and 412 series.

It is designed as a replaceable inline filter element that removes particulate contamination from aviation fuel before it enters engine or fuel system components. The element uses pleated high-efficiency filtration media to maintain stable fuel flow while capturing fine debris and contaminants.

The unit is installed inside a dedicated filter housing and serves as a direct OEM replacement equivalent for Bell helicopter fuel system filters (e.g., Bell P/N 204-040-760-109). It is certified under FAA-PMA approval and used in scheduled maintenance procedures.
