Yamaha F4–F15 Outboard Fuel Filter 68T-24251-00 (Inline Filter)

Small Yamaha outboards deserve the same level of fuel protection as their larger counterparts. The Yamaha 68T-24251-00 in-line fuel filter is designed specifically for the F4, F6, F8, F9.9, and F15 four-stroke engines (typically 2001 and newer). Despite the compact size of these motors, they can be sensitive to fuel quality – even minor debris or sediment can clog the tiny carburetor passages, causing rough running or stalling. This genuine-style filter serves as the first line of defense by straining out contaminants from the fuel before they reach your engine.

The filter features a transparent body, which allows you to easily inspect the fuel for cleanliness or detect water droplets. Its filtration media effectively captures particles like sand, rust flakes, or fuel varnish deposits that can accumulate in portable fuel tanks. Installation is straightforward: the filter splices into the fuel hose between the tank and the engine’s fuel pump/carburetor. It matches Yamaha’s OEM specifications (equivalent to part numbers 68T-24251-00-00, 68T-24251-01-00, etc.), ensuring correct flow rate and fit.

Use Cases & Recommendations:

• Ideal for small inflatable boats, dinghies, and portable outboards where engine reliability is crucial – a clean fuel supply means easier starts and smooth trolling when fishing or cruising.
• Should be replaced every season or after about 50 hours of use for best performance, as small filters can clog faster if fuel is not pristine.
• If you operate in remote areas or use older fuel cans, keeping an extra Yamaha 68T-24251-00 filter in your toolkit is cheap insurance against engine trouble – it’s a quick swap if you suspect fuel contamination.
• When performing annual maintenance on your Yamaha F4–F15, always check this filter; if it looks dirty or discolored, replace it promptly to avoid lean running conditions that could overheat the engine.
