Outboard Fuel Filters

Fuel filters for outboard motors are essential components for protecting the engine from impurities, water, and debris in the fuel. A good filtration system helps prevent problems such as clogging, loss of power, and engine damage.

Types of Outboard Fuel Filters

1. Water/Fuel Separator Filters

   • They remove water and impurities from the fuel.

   • Ideal for petrol or diesel powered outboard motors.

2. In-Line Filters

   • Installed directly into the fuel line.

   • They usually have a transparent cartridge for visual inspection.

3. Cartridge or Filter Element Filters

   • They replace only the internal filter element, without changing the filter body.

Features to Consider

✔ Filtration capacity – Expressed in microns (10, 20 or 30 microns), it determines the size of particles that the filter can retain.
✔ Compatibility – Make sure the filter is compatible with your engine (Yamaha, Mercury, Honda, Suzuki, etc.).
✔ Corrosion-resistant materials – Important to withstand the marine environment.
✔ Easy to replace – Some models have transparent cups to easily check for water.
