Transparent Fuel Water Separator Filter (Mercury/Yamaha, 10 Micron)

This transparent fuel water separator filter is engineered to provide top-notch protection for your Mercury or Yamaha outboard engine. Combining a standard fuel filter with water separating capability, the unit effectively removes both solid particles and water droplets from the gasoline before they reach your motor. Water in fuel can cause corrosion of components and erratic engine performance – with this separator, that risk is greatly reduced. The filter element is rated at 10 microns, meaning it captures very fine impurities to keep your fuel clear. The sturdy anodized aluminum head resists vibration and saltwater, while the see-through bowl gives you a clear view of what’s happening inside. If water accumulates in the filter (being heavier than fuel, it settles at the bottom of the bowl), you can easily drain it off using the small tap (drain valve) – no need to dismantle the entire unit. The separator is compatible with Mercury and Yamaha standard fuel line fittings, making installation straightforward. Adding this filter-separator to your fuel system greatly enhances reliability, especially when refueling from portable tanks or in humid conditions where fuel contamination is possible.

• Use Cases & Recommendations: The 01836-1 fuel water separator is an excellent solution for powerboats and RIBs with Mercury or Yamaha outboards, particularly when operating in humid environments or when fuel is stored for extended periods (increasing the risk of condensation). We recommend installing it as close as possible to the fuel tank or in-line before the engine’s fuel inlet. Regularly inspect the transparent bowl for water presence – if a visible layer of water has collected, use the drain valve to remove it. The filter element should be replaced as needed based on contamination levels – typically once a year or every 100 operating hours. With this product, you’ll have peace of mind on the water, knowing your engine is receiving only clean, dry fuel.
