With this acquisition, Diesel Forward said it will expand its fuel system product line by offering more than 1000 additional SKUs of traditional fuel repair components and kits. Diesel Forward will continue to provide these products under the DIPACO brand.

With this acquisition, Diesel Forward can offer an extensive line of new and remanufactured fuel system and engine components for light-, medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, as well as off-highway applications. The company and its Alliant Power brand distribute aftermarket new and remanufactured parts through more than 21 central distributors and over 550 service dealers around the world.
