Key Features That Stand Out
What sets the Sierra 18-8622 apart? It's built with high-grade media that captures even microscopic contaminants, extending the life of your carburetor or fuel injectors.

| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| High-efficiency pleated filter media | Captures 99% of particles down to 10 microns |
| Robust plastic body | Resists cracking under pressure and vibration |
| Clear top design | Easy visual inspection of fuel flow and condition |
| Meets or exceeds OEM specs | Peace of mind with every start-up |
Simple Installation Steps
No need for a marine mechanic—here's how to DIY your filter replacement:
- Shut off fuel supply and relieve pressure in the line.
- Disconnect fuel lines from the old filter (use rags to catch spills).
- Unscrew the filter counterclockwise and inspect for debris.
- Apply fuel lube to the new gasket, thread on the Sierra 18-8622 clockwise until snug.
- Reconnect lines, prime the system, and test run the engine.
Pro tip: Swap it out annually or every 100 hours of operation to dodge ethanol-related gunk buildup in modern fuels.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Sierra 18-8622 fit all Suzuki outboards?
No, but it fits most Suzuki models from 40HP to 250HP. Always cross-check your engine's OEM part number against 8622 for exact compatibility.
How often should I replace my Suzuki fuel filter?
Inspect every season and replace yearly or after 100 hours. Ethanol in fuel accelerates clogging, so frequent changes pay off.
Can this filter handle ethanol-blended fuels?
Absolutely. The 18-8622's media is ethanol-resistant, pulling water and debris that plague E10 and higher blends.
Is installation tool-free?
Mostly—pliers or a filter wrench help if it's stuck, but hand-tightening works for most installs.
What's the difference between Sierra and OEM filters?
Sierra matches filtration efficiency and fit at a fraction of the cost, with proven durability in real-world boating tests.
Will this filter improve engine performance?
Clean fuel flow can boost throttle response and prevent hesitation, especially if your old one was clogged.
