Racor S3213 vs S3214

[dajohnson53]

Does anyone know what the flow rate is for these two filters?

From years past, I thought Racor had a user friendly website with specs for their filters. For the life of me, I can't find specs for these two filters.

My current outboard (Johnson 200 V6) has the S3214 filter on it. Somewhere along the line (probably at a garage sale??) I picked up an S3213. It looks like it has the same dimensions for fit top and bottom, but my guess is that it has a different spec for fuel flow rate?

This engine can suck up more than 15 GPH at WOT.

If I can't figure it out, I'll just go buy a S3214, but I'm wondering if the 3213 will be adequate.

If those are the large (normal size) filters they have a flow rate of a around 60 GPH. I have a small Honda/Racor (S3240) one on my boat for a 225 HP and it has a flow rate of 30 GPH engine. I would think either one would do the job.

Same filter different threads. The S3213 has 11/16" -16 threads to fit a Merc filter head and the S3214 has 1"-12 threads to fit an OMC filter head.

Thanks for that. By coincidence, just yesterday I went and looked at filters at the boat store and immediately noticed the difference in the size of the hole. Oh well, the S3213 only cost me a few bucks at a yard sale (unused,sealed in original packaging), so it won't hurt me much to abandon it.

I know this is an old post but I have a question. will a S3213 fit on the same base as a S3240TUL? I am looking at changing because of the size and the clear bowl.
