It's an obsolete Racor. Filters can be had a NAPA.


Obsolete? No, not at all. The Racor 200F is *discontinued* but not
obsolete. I prefer this style because I can remove and inspect the
filter element unlike the spin on types. I use an old dental pick and
small pieces of lint free cotton cloth to clean the inside of the bowl
when required.


Filters (elements) are available in 2 and 10 microns from several
sources at $11.00 to $14.00 (CAD)

here is my 200f set up:

it was relatively inexpensive to build mainly becuase I was able to
pick up two *NEW* 200f's via e-bay. My boat came with one Racor 200f
that worked just fine... I just wanted a 3 filter system and saw no
need to discard a perfectly good filter system. Instead I added on to
it. I will be adding a vacuum guage to complete the system.
