So doing due diligence I found the below thread/information about my fuel filter copied and pasted for reference. (see sig for boat info)
At oRiely $20 bucks but, can be had online for $12?or $8 from sierra..go figure??? anyhow what I am wondering is if there is an opinion between the Wix Filter 6 micron and the Sierra 10 micron?..of course you can say what you want about microns but, who really knows? I also found the stock filter to be cheaper also online?..thoughts?
I assume this is like starting an oil thread but, maybe since the below info was out there in 2005 maybe there are some changes out there?
More Importantly ----I have put 20 hours on boat and have had to change the filter now three times??I assume this is not the norm?
This is the filter I am thinking about buying http://www.teleflexsierra.com/18-77...--store_id.373--view_id.488132--viewcart.long
Below is quoted from someone else
I have a Volvo fuel filter in my 5.0L the Volvo part number is 3851218 (new is 3862228). Does anyone know the Fram or Tempo number that I can use? I am not always close to my Volvo dealer.
Last year TrailerBoats Magazine did tests on fuel filters. The Wix filters ranked right behind the Tempo filters. You should be able to find Wix in your neighborhood. http://www.wixfilters.com/filterlook...imageField.y=8 Looks like a Wix 33359 is a cross reference to your filter. I think you have O'Reilly's in your area. They carry Wix.
If you are talking about the short spin-on cannister filter that is right below the electric fuel pump, you can also use the OMC version of that filter, 502906, about $5, at any Johnson-EVinrude dealer.
If Seahorse is correct (and I think he is) that you can use OMC 502906, then you can also use Aqua Power 6051.
