Sierra 18-7920 Filter-Gas OMC 10M Racor S3214

Why Your Boat Needs Superior Fuel Water Separation

Picture this: you're out on the water, miles from shore, when your engine sputters because water snuck into the fuel tank from condensation or bad gas. That's where a high-performance fuel water separator like this one steps in, keeping your outings smooth and worry-free. Designed for marine enthusiasts who demand reliability, it tackles emulsified water head-on, ensuring clean fuel reaches your engine every time.

Exceptional Water Removal and Flow Rates

This filter stands out by capturing over 98.8% of emulsified water in gasoline—far beyond basic filters. Whether you're running a high-revving outboard or a stern drive, the consistent 90 gallons per hour (GPH) flow rate keeps up with power-hungry motors. No more starving your engine during those critical moments of acceleration or sustained cruising.

Clear vs. Metal Bowls: Choose Based on Your Setup

Selecting the right bowl matters for safety and visibility. Opt for clear bowls on outboards or above-deck installs—they let you spot water buildup or debris at a glance, making routine checks a breeze. For below-deck applications, metal bowls are essential, meeting U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) flame-resistant standards to handle the heat and risks in enclosed spaces. Both options integrate seamlessly into your system, balancing visibility with regulatory compliance.

Key Features at a Glance

• Proven 98.8%+ emulsified water removal for gasoline
• 90 GPH flow capacity for demanding engines
• Direct compatibility with OMC 10-Micron and Racor S3214 setups
• Durable construction resists corrosion in harsh marine environments
• Easy-drain design simplifies water evacuation without tools

Perfect Fit for OMC and Racor Systems

Engineered as a drop-in replacement for OMC 10-micron gasoline filters and Racor S3214 elements, it restores factory-level performance without modifications. Boaters upgrading from worn OEM parts appreciate the precise fit, which minimizes leaks and maximizes efficiency. It's a smart choice for classic OMC-powered boats or modern rebuilds where Racor filtration is standard.

Installation Made Simple for DIY Boaters

Swapping in this filter takes under 30 minutes with basic tools. Start by shutting off fuel supply and relieving pressure, then unscrew the old bowl or element. Clean mounting surfaces, thread on the new unit hand-tight plus a quarter-turn, and prime the system. Pro tip: Always check O-rings for cracks during install to prevent drips— a quick lube with marine grease extends their life.

Maintenance Tips to Extend Filter Life

Regular upkeep keeps it performing like new. Drain accumulated water weekly or after every 50 hours of use, inspecting for fuel discoloration or particulates. In humid climates or with ethanol-blended gas, swap the element every 100-200 hours or annually. Signs it's time for replacement? Hesitation under load, rough idling, or visible water in the bowl—address them promptly to safeguard injectors and carbs.

Real-World Reliability for Every Adventure

From offshore fishing trips to weekend lake cruises, this filter has proven itself in salty bays and freshwater reservoirs alike. Anglers love how it prevents gelled fuel issues in cooler months, while performance boaters rely on its high flow for twin-engine setups. It's not just a part—it's peace of mind on the water.
