The filter removes over 99.8% of emulsified water from gasoline and is over 90% efficient at capturing particles as small as 10 microns, while flowing up to 90 gallons per hour so it keeps up with demanding V6 EFI fuel delivery. Protecting sensitive inboard, sterndrive, and outboard fuel injection components from water and debris contamination is critical on EFI engines, where even small amounts of water or particulate can cause misfires, injector damage, or corrosion. The 18-7967 housing is black, which distinguishes it from the visually similar 18-7968 used on 1996-and-up V6 EFI Mercury engines, so it is important to confirm you are ordering the correct sensor color and part number for your engine's production year. This filter is a direct replacement for several Mercury Marine OEM fuel\/water separator part numbers, letting you cross-reference your old filter and order the equivalent Sierra part with confidence. As with all Sierra parts, it is engineered to meet or exceed the performance of the original equipment part it replaces and is built to hold up in the marine environment.\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 18-7967\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 Gallons Per Hour (GPH)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Removal Efficiency:\u003c\/strong\u003e Removes over 99.8% of emulsified water from gasoline\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eParticle Filtration Efficiency:\u003c\/strong\u003e Over 90% efficient at removing particles as small as 10 microns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitment:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mercury V6 EFI, 1995 and Earlier, with Sensor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOuter Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.03 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 808282175672\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eMercury V6 EFI, 1995 and Earlier, with Sensor (Black)\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eReplaces (OEM)\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMercury Marine 35-18458Q3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMercury Marine 35-18458A3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMercury Marine 35-18458A2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMercury Marine 35-17808A1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMercury Marine 35-14571A1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat engines does the Sierra 18-7967 fuel water separator filter fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 18-7967 is designed for Mercury V6 EFI outboards from 1995 and earlier, and it includes a built-in water sensor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the micron rating of this filter?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-7967 has a 10 micron rating, which is the level recommended to protect sensitive inboard, sterndrive, and outboard fuel injection systems from damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much water does the 18-7967 remove from fuel?\u003c\/strong\u003e It removes over 99.8% of emulsified water from gasoline, helping protect the EFI fuel system from water contamination.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat flow rate can the 18-7967 handle?\u003c\/strong\u003e Sierra rates the 18-7967 to flow up to 90 gallons per hour, enough to supply fuel-hungry V6 EFI motors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the Sierra 18-7967 replace Mercury OEM filters?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the 18-7967 is a direct replacement for Mercury Marine 35-18458Q3, 35-18458A3, 35-18458A2, 35-17808A1, and 35-14571A1.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the difference between the 18-7967 and the 18-7968?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 18-7967 is black and fits Mercury V6 EFI engines from 1995 and earlier, while the 18-7968 is blue and is the separate part number used for 1996-and-up Mercury V6 EFI engines.
