Thanks Dan. I'm surprised that the see-thru isn't authorized for an
inboard.
Hell, that's what I was looking for.

Federal regulations state that all fuel system components withstand a 2 1/2
minute fire test, along with other specs, if used in a boat with an enclosed
gasoline engine. The plastic bowl filter would be illegal and very unsafe.
The approved Racor filter elements use the thicker steel shell and have the
letters UL after the part number. Don't skimp on safety. Please get familiar
with the laws and standard practices of fuel and electrical items in a boat,
not only to prevent explosions, but to possibly save the lives of yourself,
your loved ones, and innocent bystanders.

Thanks Bill. Once I saw that it wasn't approved for my inboard, I wasn't
planning to buy it. I didn't know about the 2 1/2 minute fire test either.
