Racor filter

[Claymar]

I have the aluminum Yammie fuel/water separator on my F150. The spin on filter is Yamaha part # MAR-10171-20-00.

Anyone have an idea as to which spin on Racor filter I could use to replace this with? Good idea or not?

It would be a good idea to change to a stainlees steel seperator head also.

My records show that I had a 90 GPH 10 Micron MAR-FUEL-IL-TR filter when I bought my new 2007 2120. I found some ethanol issues with my fuel with the first load of fuel and sould not see the problems with this filter.

I replaced it with a Racor S3213 so I could see the clear Racor bowl in the bottom and I did not replace the head since it was new and the Racor worked perfectly on the old head. I use a car mirror on an extendable post to hold under the Racor bowl to see if anything unwanted is in the bowl......................Pete

The stainless steel head will not be affected by ethanol

Neither should the aluminum head. If it does have problems, then we have far greater problems with the aluminum fuel tanks. :shock: :shock: :shock:

I have the original aluminum heads and have had E-10 for two seasons now. No problem.

Racor filter: you pay for the name. Waste of Money IMHO. If you EVER see water in the clear filter bowl then you have a SERIOUS PROBLEM.
I go to Mexico all the time. The fuel there can be suspect; but you have to know where to buy it. Buy it at the wrong station and you will have problems no filter can fix. Same goes for fuel in the US. I understand that station back east are Selling E15. This is DEATH on any marine engind; particularly outboards. Buy an alcohol fuel test kit an open your eyes!

The flow-rate of the 90 GPH filter mentioned above, is that rate for an absolute best-case scenario for a brand new filter, or one that has some normal use and blockage? As a rule should one choose a filter with double, triple, etc. of his max-speed consumption, in anticipation of the filter losing some flow rate over time?

Someone else pointed out on another thread that 90 gph is major overkill. My 150 seldom pumps numbers in the double digits acording to the fuel management guage.

By the way, my original question was which spin on filter element replaces the Yamaha and the discussion seemed to have migrated to the pros and cons of alum vs. ss. The answer to the question was Racor S3213.

Thats the flow rate tested as a new filter. The flow rate will decrease as the filter gets dirty.
