Fuel FIlter seperator Issue or not..

[adamwalton]

Hi All


Had my boat engine changed a couple of years ago, and i am having it serviced this week, just looking at getting a new fuel filter for it in readiness and have stumble across a possible issue, or nothing at all..




The current filter is a Quicksilver unit, but this is listed for Mercury, Mariner and Force outboards plus MerCruiser Stern Drive and Inboard Engines


My engine was a mariner 150 2 stoke and is now a Suzuki DF150 four stroke, will the same filter be OK, or should this have been changed when the engine was changed, and if it does need changing, what to?

Filters are rated to HP and flow rate it should be ok with a new filter and O ring of course

i think you may find there are one or two different length filters that will screw on the same head ,when i got my boat from usa i am sure it had an extended spin on can on it ,but i mistakenly bought a shorter version ,i put it on anyway (yam 115 four stroke ) and boated all last season with no issues ,,,i suppose if you think what fuel a 5.7 litre mercruiser would need (and thats where alot of these cans are fitted ) ,then we probhably dont have too many wories with our modern injected four strokes in relation to flow requirements
