Sierra 10 Micron Fuel Filter Element 18-7955, Replaces 68T-24251-00-00, Fits Yamaha F6 F8 (2001 & Up)

The Sierra 18-7955 is a 10 micron fuel filter element designed as a direct replacement for the OEM fuel filter element on select Yamaha outboard motors. It is built to trap fine contaminants and particulate before they reach the carburetor or fuel injection system, helping protect internal fuel system components from debris-related wear and clogging. The element is tested and approved for use with ethanol-based fuels, making it suitable for the ethanol-blended gasoline commonly found at the pump today.

This filter element fits inside the existing fuel filter housing on applicable Yamaha F6 and F8 outboards (2001 and up), replacing the factory element during routine fuel system maintenance. Installing a fresh element at regular service intervals helps maintain consistent fuel flow and supports reliable engine performance. As a direct OEM-equivalent replacement, it installs into the stock housing without modification.
