I always thought the difference between the metal bowl and the plastic bowl was where it would be mounted. I didn't think they allowed plastic bowls to be mounted in the bilge or other enclosed areas.

anything in the engine compartment that contains fuel has to meet Coast Guard specs for resistance to flame for an alloted time frame(don't know how long). Its got to hold up to fire for a certain amount of time before it melts, thats the reason for metal fuel filter bowls, no plastic inline filters, and "A1" fuel hose

that sierra filter is a copy of what mercruiser uses( probably made by the same people), check with ebasicpower.com they may have a better price on one. Racor makes the bets filters, but for what you are doing, the sierra is fine
