Sierra 18-99192 99192 Fuel/Water Separator Gas Kit w/ Clear Bowl For Racor Product Description
Keeping your outboard engine running smoothly on the water starts with clean, water-free fuel. The Sierra 18-99192 fuel/water separator kit steps in as a reliable safeguard, capturing moisture and debris before they reach your engine. Designed for marine enthusiasts who demand durability and ease of maintenance, this kit mimics the performance of premium Racor systems while offering smart features tailored for outboard applications.
Built to Withstand Marine Demands
- Corrosion-Resistant Aluminum Bracket: Finished with a tough paint coating, it fights off saltwater exposure and harsh marine environments, ensuring long-term reliability even in rough conditions.
- Clear AquaVue™ Bowl: Provides instant visual inspection of fuel quality and water accumulation, ideal for above-deck setups on outboards where quick checks keep you boating without interruptions.
- Easy Water Drainage: A simple drain valve lets you remove collected water effortlessly, extending the life of your filter element and preventing fuel flow issues.
- Rugged All-Metal Construction: Engineered for vibration-heavy outboard use, it delivers trouble-free operation season after season.
Why Boat Owners Trust This Kit for Peak Performance
Water contamination in fuel is a silent killer for outboard motors, leading to corrosion, injector clogs, and unexpected breakdowns miles from shore. This Sierra kit tackles that head-on by efficiently separating water from gasoline using advanced coalescing technology. The clear bowl option shines for outboard owners who service their own boats—spot water buildup at a glance and drain it during routine checks, saving time and avoiding costly engine repairs.
Compliance-savvy boaters appreciate the flexibility: stick with the clear bowl for visible monitoring above deck, or swap to a flame-resistant metal bowl below deck to meet USCG standards. Either way, you're investing in a system that boosts fuel efficiency, protects against ethanol-related water attraction in modern gas blends, and keeps your outings worry-free.
How the Fuel/Water Separator Keeps Your Engine Protected
Fuel enters the kit and passes through a pleated filter media that traps particulates down to microns. Heavier water droplets coalesce and settle into the bowl below. The bracket mounts securely to your outboard setup, and the transparent bowl lets you monitor separation progress. Regular draining—every few tank fills or when the bowl shows half-full—maintains optimal flow and filter efficiency. This proactive approach minimizes downtime and maximizes your time on the water.
Pro Tips for Long-Lasting Performance
- Inspect the bowl weekly during heavy use or after refueling from questionable sources.
- Pair with high-quality filter elements rated for gasoline to handle modern E10 blends.
- Mount in a spot shielded from direct spray but accessible for service—vibration dampening helps longevity.
- Winterize by draining all water and fuel to prevent freeze damage.
Boat maintenance isn't glamorous, but it's the difference between a reliable adventure and a tow back to the dock. This kit empowers DIYers with tools for confident upkeep.
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of outboard engines is the Sierra 18-99192 kit designed for?
This kit fits a wide range of outboard engines, providing essential fuel filtration and water separation to protect against common marine fuel issues.
Why choose the clear AquaVue™ bowl for this fuel/water separator?
The clear bowl allows for easy visual checks of water levels and fuel clarity, making it perfect for above-deck installations on outboards where frequent monitoring is practical.
When should I use a metal bowl instead of the clear one?
USCG rules mandate flame-resistant metal bowls for below-deck use to enhance fire safety in enclosed engine spaces.
How does draining water extend filter life?
Water saturation reduces filtration efficiency and can cause emulsions that clog media faster; regular draining keeps the system performing at its best.
Is the bracket resistant to corrosion in saltwater environments?
Yes, the painted aluminum bracket is specifically treated to resist corrosion from saltwater, humidity, and engine vibrations common in outboard boating.
Can this kit handle ethanol-blended gasoline?
Absolutely—it's built to manage water attraction from ethanol fuels, a frequent culprit in marine engine problems, ensuring cleaner delivery to your motor.
How rugged is the construction for rough water use?
Rugged metal components and secure mounting make it ideal for bumpy rides, withstanding shocks that lesser filters can't handle.
