It uses a 10 micron filtration rating to catch fine particulate and debris that can clog jets, foul injectors, or cause rough running and stalling. The filter body and hardware are constructed of stainless steel for corrosion resistance in the wet, salt-exposed environment typical of boat engine compartments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis filter is a direct equivalent for a range of Mercury Marine and OMC fuel filters, making it a straightforward swap when servicing outboard fuel systems that call for those OEM numbers. It installs inline on 5\/16 inch fuel line and is intended as a routine maintenance and replacement item, commonly serviced alongside fuel line inspections and carburetor cleaning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sierra\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18-7830\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fuel Filter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFuel Line Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5\/16 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMicron Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10 micron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.31 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.06 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnit Count:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 count\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Components:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fuel Filter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFits marine fuel systems using 5\/16 inch fuel line and compatible with applications originally equipped with the Mercury Marine and OMC fuel filters listed below.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eReplaces (OEM)\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e35-16494-1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e35-816296-T1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e35-816296-1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e35-816296Q2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e35-816296T1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e398327\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size fuel line does the Sierra 18-7830 fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-7830 fuel filter is sized for 5\/16 inch fuel line, with an item diameter of 0.31 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the micron rating of this fuel filter?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-7830 has a 10 micron filtration rating, which traps fine particulate and debris before it reaches the carburetor or injectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the 18-7830 replace a Mercury Marine fuel filter?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the Sierra 18-7830 is a direct equivalent for Mercury Marine part number 35-16494-1.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this filter compatible with OMC fuel systems?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-7830 cross-references to OMC part number 398327, making it a suitable replacement for that application.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat other OEM numbers does the 18-7830 replace?\u003c\/strong\u003e In addition to Mercury Marine 35-16494-1 and OMC 398327, the 18-7830 replaces 35-816296-1, 35-816296-T1, 35-816296Q2, and 35-816296T1.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the fuel filter made of?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-7830 is constructed of stainless steel for corrosion resistance in marine engine compartments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the 18-7830 fuel filter weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e This filter weighs 0.06 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many filters come in the package?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-7830 is sold as a single unit, one fuel filter per package.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the 18-7830 the same as the 18-7829 or 18-7831?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, those are different sizes in the same Sierra fuel filter lineup: the 18-7829 is sized for 1\/4 inch fuel line and the 18-7831 is sized for 3\/8 inch fuel line, while the 18-7830 is the 5\/16 inch version.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this a genuine Sierra part or an aftermarket copy?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 18-7830 is a genuine Sierra part, sold under Sierra's own part number and warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is this filter typically used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-7830 is used as a routine maintenance replacement item to filter contaminants out of the fuel supply on marine engines using 5\/16 inch fuel line.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sierra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48988388983003,"sku":"SIE-18-7830","price":7.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/Untitled-1__93281.1752869793.500.750.jpg?v=1785188945","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/sierra-18-7830-marine-fuel-filter-10-micron-5-16-in-replaces-mercury-35-816296-omc-398327-for-mercury-mariner-johnson-evinrude-outboards","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
