Sierra 18-79909 Fuel Filter, Replaces Honda 16901-ZY3-003, Fits Honda BF115-BF200 Outboards

The Sierra 18-79909 is a fuel filter engineered as a direct equivalent to Honda part number 16901-ZY3-003, built for Honda outboard engines across the BF115 through BF200 model range. It is designed to trap contaminants and debris from the fuel supply before they reach the carburetor or fuel injection system, helping protect internal engine components from dirt, rust particles, and other fuel-borne debris that can cause rough running, clogging, or premature wear. The filter housing uses a plastic outer material for corrosion resistance in the marine environment.

This is a universal-fit filter matched to a wide range of Honda outboard applications, making it a straightforward replacement for boat owners and marine technicians performing routine fuel system maintenance. Each unit ships as a single filter (1 count) ready to install in place of the original equipment part. As with other Sierra marine parts, it is backed by Sierra's standard limited warranty.
