Proper Fuel Filter for an Atomic 4
Looking for a proper gas fuel filter for my A4. I see many filters that are for diesel and believe its a very common mistake to think you can use these with gas. Most are for outboards and not for down below in an enclosed space. USCG also does not like non-flame retardant bowls for inside use. Have to agree with them there. Any thoughts on finding a set up with a metal or glass bowl ?
Thanks All. |

Hello magi.
Here is the filter/separator offered in the MMI catalog, which has a metal bowl: https://moyermarine.com/product/raco...fpmp_05-1_349/ Jack. |

magi..welcome, and right on the above posts. You want the Racor 320R with the metal bowl linked above. I will comment from personal experience that it is important to lubricate the rubber gaskets for ease in later servicing.

Let me add that you should check your filters with a magnet. If a magnet sticks, they're going to rust. And the rust particles are going to go downstream toward your carb. I spent a Summer tracking down carb issues. Turned out to be due to my secondary filter (the one of last recourse) rusting and sending rusticles to the carb.

Then there's the USCG metallic construction requirement for inboard gasoline installations or said another way, no glass, plastic or see-through materials of any kind for filter or sediment bowl construction on a gas inboard.
