Fuel Water Separator Filter – 10 Micron

This 10-micron fuel-water separating filter is a reliable solution for larger outboard engines, effectively removing water from gasoline and trapping fine particles. It installs easily in-line on the fuel hose (Ø10 mm) and is especially recommended for engines above 15 HP, where clean fuel is critical for performance. Built with durable, marine-grade materials to withstand vibration and saltwater, it is ideal for harsh marine environments and frequent use.

The main assembly 03601 includes a filter head, replaceable filter element, and a clear collection bowl. The see-through bowl allows quick visual inspection for any water or debris and features a drain plug for easy water removal. For optimal performance, we recommend checking the bowl before each trip and draining any accumulated water.

• 03601 – Filter + Separator (Main Kit): Perfect for installation on boats with 15–200+ HP engines. It delivers a steady supply of contaminant-free fuel, protecting your fuel pump and carburetor/injectors from corrosion and clogging. Suitable for fishing boats, RIBs, and yachts that often deal with questionable or stale fuel.
• 03601-1 – Spare 10µ Filter Element: A replacement cartridge that should be changed regularly (typically once per season or every 50-100 engine hours, depending on fuel quality). Easy to swap out, it ensures filtration remains effective. We recommend keeping at least one spare element on board for emergency replacements.
• 03601-3 – Spare Collection Bowl: A transparent water-catch bowl, fuel-resistant and UV-stable. Serves as a backup in case the original bowl becomes cracked or cloudy over time. Replacing the bowl is quick and maintains clear visibility of your fuel condition. This is especially useful for boats operating in cold climates – having a spare bowl means you can quickly restore the system if the original is damaged during water draining in freezing conditions.

Real-world use: When running in rough seas or refueling at unfamiliar marinas, water and sediment can enter your tank. This separator filter traps water in its bowl, preventing it from reaching your engine. For example, a 5–6 m fishing boat with a 60 HP outboard will benefit greatly on long trips – even if the fuel is old or contains moisture, the engine will run smoothly. For larger yachts or frequent cruisers, carrying spare filter elements (03601-1) on board is wise, allowing quick maintenance without trip interruptions. Whether for professional or recreational use, this 10-micron separator ensures a clean fuel system, fewer breakdowns, and longer engine life.
