Racor fuel filter/water separator

Guys

I just received one of many things that I have on my wish to do list for the boat.

It’s a Racor fuel filter with a 316 grade stainless steel bracket. Yep, this bracket will outlive me for sure. ??? :P

With all the latest fuel additives you have to have one of these babes, take a look:

Didja get the 10 micron filter with that?

I'm pretty sure that the Racor standard is 10 microns. The high dollar filters go finerw/ more capacity.

Just checked. Not sure about standard, but the one in his hand is 10 microns...

Yeah. I don't think they're standard. From what I've read, 10 micron seems to work best with the Ethanol based gas. I've heard of people trying finer filters, but ran into problems with them restricting flow because they clog quicker.

Congrats Bassarama. Now that we've established that it's the good "10 micron" filter, lets get a move on. ;) While it looks pretty in your hand, lets see a pic of it mounted in the boat. Heck, we'll give ya till what, how's Saturday afternoon sound. ;D

I need to make up a 1/2 inch shim to mount under the bracket so I have more room for the filter wrench when replacing the filters ;)
