It removes over 99.8% of emulsified water from gasoline and is over 90% efficient at filtering out particles as small as 10 microns, while still flowing at 90 GPH to keep fuel delivery steady even under heavy demand. This level of filtration is especially important for sensitive inboard, sterndrive, and outboard fuel injection systems, where water or debris in the fuel line can cause misfires, injector damage, or corrosion over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 18-7945 measures 4.35 inches (110.5 millimeters) in length, making it a long\/tall-profile filter. It is also used as the filter element inside Sierra's 1\/4 inch and 3\/8 inch stainless steel filter kits (paired with a mounting bracket and pipe plugs), so it can be sourced individually as a replacement element for those kit installations or purchased on its own for direct-fit replacement service. It is designed for Mercury\/MerCruiser and Yamaha fuel systems and is manufactured to meet or exceed the specifications of the original equipment part it replaces.\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 18-7945\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMicron Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10 Micron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlow Rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e 90 GPH\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFilter Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.35 inches (110.5 millimeters)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.06 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFit Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Universal Fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Vehicle Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mercruiser-powered Boats\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnit Count:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for Mercury\/MerCruiser and Yamaha gasoline fuel systems, including inboard, sterndrive, and outboard fuel injection applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eReplaces (OEM)\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMercury\/MerCruiser 35-802893Q01\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMercury\/MerCruiser 35-604941\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMercury\/MerCruiser 35-60494\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMercury\/MerCruiser 35-55501\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMercury\/MerCruiser 35-57250\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMercury\/MerCruiser 35-60494A5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMercury\/MerCruiser 35-806771\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMercury\/MerCruiser 35-8052691\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMercury\/MerCruiser 35-802893Q\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMercury\/MerCruiser 35-807172\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYamaha ABB-FUELF-IL-TR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat micron rating does the Sierra 18-7945 filter provide?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-7945 is rated at 10 microns, removing over 99.8% of emulsified water from gasoline and filtering out over 90% of particles as small as 10 microns.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the 18-7945 keep up with fuel demand on a larger engine?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, this filter flows at 90 GPH, which is enough to feed high-demand engines while still providing 10 micron filtration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat OEM part numbers does the Sierra 18-7945 cross-reference?\u003c\/strong\u003e It replaces Mercury\/MerCruiser part numbers 35-802893Q01, 35-604941, 35-60494, 35-55501, 35-57250, 35-60494A5, 35-806771, 35-8052691, 35-802893Q, and 35-807172, as well as Yamaha part number ABB-FUELF-IL-TR.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat engines is the 18-7945 fuel filter designed for?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-7945 is designed for Mercury\/MerCruiser and Yamaha gasoline fuel systems, including inboard, sterndrive, and outboard fuel injection applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long is the Sierra 18-7945 filter?\u003c\/strong\u003e It measures 4.35 inches (110.5 millimeters) in length, a long\/tall-profile filter element.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the 18-7945 filter weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The filter weighs 1.06 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the 18-7945 sold as a complete kit with a mounting bracket?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, part number 18-7945 is the filter element itself.
