Does anyone recognize this fuel filter?

I can't squirm in far enough to find a model number and didn't see anything
that looke like it in the marine store. Considering some of the weird stuff
I've found on the boat, I don't want to assume that the Racor elements in
the spare parts are for it.

I also want to be sure it isn't the one referred to in another thread that
passes unfiltered fuel if a spacer is left out. If that could be done, the
PO of my boat would have done it.

Greetings Roger;

That's a Racor fuel filter housing not a filter, but I know what you
are asking.

Racor made a dozen different sizes rated by flow.
Bigger is not better, as the water seperator needs a tuned stream of
fuel to properly work. I have a housing that looks exactly as your and
it's a Racor 2000. You need to pull the filter out of the housing to
know the exact type, and color. The end cap Color of the filter
denotes filtration on Racors. Brown is 2 MIC, Blue is 10 MIC, Red is
30 MIC. With a small engine I would assume is on your boat dual set-
up's is not worth the hassle, just put a vaccume gauge between the
filter housing and the fuel pump. As far as alge goes if you are
having a problem get a pre- filter strainer with removeable SS mesh
type filter...saves on the cost of Racors. Also... you do not need a
seperate water trap with that racor system, just wasting money. If you
need to scrub the walls of the water trap remove the valve on bottom
and you have a nice size hole to use a bit of wire with a rag twisted
on the end, but it's easy enough to remove the bowl and do it right if
you had the room. Racor's the best F@*k the rest.
