Parker Racor Replacement Elemment Aquablock II Filter

Racor marine replacement spin-on elements are available in different lengths and diameters for different flow rates. The silk screens are color-coded ?Brown? for ?2? micron, ?Blue? for 10 micron, and ´red? for 30 micron. The smaller the micron rating the finer the filtration. The ?2? micron rating is required when there is no additional downstream filtration. 10 and 30 micron are appropriate for pre-filtration, protecting a downstream or engine mounted filter. Ultimately, the micron rating preferred will be a function of fuel quality, operating climates and maintenance schedules.

Fuel contamination, either in the form of dirt, sludge or water will always find its way into your fuel system. With modern engines now injecting fuel over 2500 bar/36000 psi, and injector tolerances measured in microns, it´s not surprising that even a small amount of dirt or water corrosion can start a major problem. Water or particulates can cause microscopic surface damage, which is then focused on by the high pressure flow, to cause significant wear which will eventually lead to reduced efficiency and complete injector break-down.

How It Works:

Racor Marine Spin-on Series replacement filters use Aquabloc® media to reliably remove dirt and water from diesel and gasoline fuels. Aquabloc® media is pleated, corrugated, and arranged for optimum water rejection and longest service life. Fuel entering the filter head is diverted downward past the vertical media pleats, allowing larger water droplets and contamination particles to fall directly to the collection bowl. Smaller water droplets converge and coalesce on the specially treated media surface until they are large enough to also drop to the collection bowl. Small contamination particles are stopped at the surface of the Aquabloc® media, while even smaller particles are held deeper in the media layers. The result is the driest, cleanest motor fuel available for your marine engine.

These filters are designed for high performance applications, and will help your marine engine perform better than ever with clean, water-free fuel. The mounting head and filter body are protected with a durable electrostatically applied powder coating for superior corrosion resistance. This spin-on filter design is simple to service, and the reusable clear engineering plastic or metal contaminant collection bowls feature a self-venting drain or metal plug, for draining out unwanted muck and water.


Features:

Being on the water is fun, having water in your fuel is not. And more than ever today´s high-performance gasoline inboard and outboard engines require clean, dry fuel. Racor replacement filters offer the improved features and peace-of-mind that come with our quality fuel filter/water separators.
Corrosion-resistant construction means bowls will resist deterioration from water collection, alcohol blended fuels, exposure to harsh additives, salt spray, or UV light. Racor?s UL-listed filters meet ABYC, ASTM, ISO, and many other global standards for filters used in marine engine rooms.

How to choose the correct replacement fuel filter:

1. Find the Racor Series that matches your filter
2. Choose the micron rating of the Aquabloc® media. 10 and 30 micron elements recommended for primary applications and ?2? micron for secondary, final filter applications.
3. Indicate if you need UL approved version
4. Alternately you may choose by height and diameter and in any order
