On a Volvo Diesel D4 260 I must change the racor (fuel water separator). Does anyone know which model racor is needed? Is it 500? 900? 1000?

Thank you

Howdy dead weight to hold boat in water (Anchor) :D sorry had to do it

Look on the side of the filter (which you may have done this) and see if there is any model number on it

The Volvo spec shows the motor to use a bit over 50 gph of fuel at max load and rpm, so the 1 gpm should be good. If you plan to run it at WOT for long periods of time you might need to change the filter more often. Good thing about a diesel, if the filter started getting clogged it would just loose some power, and come right back after the filter was replaced
