Fuel filter/water separator

[cthru1]

I need to change my spin on canister type fuel filter/water separator and I am wondering if these are universal? Will any brand of spin on fuel filter/water separator work? If not which brand do you recomended and why? thanks

What brand/model do you currently have?<br /><br />I have the same setup for twin outboards. I got the boat with Racor S3213 fuel filters and was advised to replace them with the same make and model.<br /><br />If you go the following web site as an xmaple, you will see that there are many different size & capability fuel filters<br /><br /> http://www.parker.com/RACOR/PRODUCTTABLES/TABLE-MARINE-GAS01.JPG

It's probably either a Mercury filter (small hole) or OMC filter (big hole). Take it to a boat dealer - they usually stock both. My Racor unit uses the OMC filter but I think you can get them both ways. The Sierra filters work as good as the rest and a lot cheaper. Good luck.
