Work and Pleasure Boats Need Reliable Fuel Filtration

Engine protection begins with good fuel filtration understanding. Without proper care of the engine, no vessel is really ready to launch. In a recent blog report from Parker Racor, the authors commented on the several aspects of fuel filtration that every skipper needs to focus on.

Filters and Water Separators
Fuel filters and water separators protect vital engine components from the damage caused by dirt particles, salt-water and other contaminants in the fuel system.

Spin-on Series Filters
The spin-on filters from Parker Racor have a clear contaminant collection bowl for outboard applications and metal bowl units for inboard applications. The Racor filters have a drain valve or plug, ten micron Aquabloc media, 98 percent efficiency, and corrosion resistant construction.

Turbine Series
The Turbine Series filter assemblies from Parker Racor are designed to be installed on the vacuum side of the fuel transfer pump for best efficiency and to protect precision engine components from dirt, rust, algae, asphaltines, varnishes, and especially water.

Turbine Series Elements
The filter media from Parker Racor is engineered to repel water and remove solid contaminants before they can damage precision engine components. They are available in different lengths for various flow rates and are color-coded.

In its recent blog, the experts from Parker’s Engine Mobile Filtration Team go in more detail about how the Parker Racor product meets the requirements of boat owners seeking improved fuel economy and better performance. Read more about Fuel Filtration for Marine Applications at Parker.com.
