This spare kit is specifically designed for owners of the transparent fuel separator filter (code 01836-1 for Mercury/Yamaha) who want to maintain their system’s optimal performance. The kit includes a new clear bowl with a factory-fitted 10-micron replacement filter element inside, as well as the required gasket for sealing it to the separator’s aluminum head. Over time, during operation, the original bowl can become fouled with sediment and water to a degree that cleaning is difficult, or the plastic may turn cloudy and hinder visibility. By replacing this entire portion, your filter is returned to like-new condition – providing clear visibility and full flow once again. The replacement procedure is straightforward: stop fuel flow, unscrew the old bowl (carefully catching any fuel/water spillage), inspect and clean the sealing surface on the filter head, then screw on the new bowl (with its fresh gasket) until it seats firmly. Ensure the drain cock (if the bowl includes one) is closed, then restore fuel flow. Now your separator will function at peak efficiency again, trapping water and particles as it did when new.
- Recommendation: Using genuine spare parts like this kit ensures you won’t face issues with fit or quality. It’s advisable that during long-term operation you regularly inspect the clear bowl – if you notice micro-cracks, loss of transparency, or stubborn deposits, plan to replace it with a new one. Additionally, after a significant number of running hours (or at least once a year), replacing the filter element is necessary to maintain optimal filtration. This kit conveniently combines both components (bowl and filter) to give your separator a complete refresh in one go.
