Sierra 18-79911 10 Micron Fuel Water Separator Filter, Replaces 35-8M0079962, for Mercury/Mercruiser Fuel Injected Engines

The Sierra 18-79911 is a 10 micron fuel water separator filter built for fuel injected marine engines. It removes over 99.8 percent of emulsified water from gasoline and is over 90 percent efficient at removing particles as small as 10 micron, protecting sensitive inboard, sterndrive, and outboard fuel injection systems from water and debris contamination. The filter flows at 90 gallons per hour, enough to feed even high-demand engines without restricting fuel delivery. It is a long-style filter measuring 8.5 inches in length. As a Sierra fuel water separator, it is designed for Mercury/Mercruiser fuel injected engines and directly replaces the OEM 35-8M0079962 filter. Sierra engineers its filters to meet or exceed the performance of the original equipment part they replace, and all Sierra parts are covered under Sierra's Customer Satisfaction Warranty, which warrants the product to be free of defects in workmanship and materials for the useful life of the product. This filter is a straightforward maintenance replacement for boat owners who need to keep water and particulate out of their fuel system and maintain reliable engine performance.
