Inline fuel filter

[steplift20]

I am going to replace my inline fuel filter on my 2 stroke Mercury outboard and the inline filters say for 4 stroke motors ,is there a difference?

[phatdaddy]

The inline on the older 2 strokes had barb fittings that clamped in place with wire clamps or small zip ties. The four strokes have a different barb that clips into a special fitting.

I think

Should be able to find plenty of the older ones. Just make sure the one u get has barbs, not the rings with the long nipples.

As far as the filtering element, i don t think there is any difference.

what filter are you replacing? On the engine? or the water separating filter in the boat?

On the engine

what Phat said, the newer engines use quick connects, the older engine has barb fittings

Do you know if it's 3/8 or 5/16 I'm not getting a good answer,even the owners Manuel does not say.
