COMMERCIAL CARRIER JOURNAL | JULY 2015 71 PRODUC TS Fuel-efficient steer tire Michelin Americas Truck Tires has added two sizes to its XZA3+ ultra-fuel-efficient steer tire – 11R24.5 and 275/80R24.5, both load range H and both reinforced with more steel belts for added carrying capaci - ty to meet market and original equipment demands that require steer tires to handle heavier tractor weights. The XZA3+ line also includes those same sizes in load range G, as well as sizes 11R22.5 and 275/80R22.5, both avail - able in both load ranges G and H. The XZA3+ line is designed for added casing re- treadability and has earned U.S. Environmental Protection Agency SmartWay verification. Michelin Americas Truck Tires, www.michelintruck.com, 888-622-2306 Fuel filter/ water separator Racor's GreenMax heavy-duty high-ca- pacity Fuel Filter Water Separator is engineered for all-weather operations. Available in 12 VDC and 24 VDC models, GreenMax has an in-bowl electric heater, a return fuel recirculating valve, a hand primer pump and the company's proprietary 10-micron Aquabloc media element. The in-bowl electric heater helps with cold starting, while the recirculating valve uses unused warm engine fuel returning to the tank to help provide full-flow on-demand heated fuel to the filter at full engine load. Approved for biodiesel fuels to B20, GreenMax also has dual inlet and outlet ports, a standard water-in-fuel sensor and a large clear bowl for visual fuel-quality checks. Parker Hannifin Corp.
