Sierra 18-79912 Fuel Water Separator Filter Kit, Replaces Mercury 35-8M0082290, 10 Micron 1/4 Inch Aluminum

The Sierra 18-79912 is a 10 micron fuel water separator filter kit built for fuel injected engines. This 1/4 inch aluminum tall filter kit protects sensitive inboard, sterndrive, and outboard fuel injection systems by removing over 99.8 percent of emulsified water from gasoline before it reaches the engine. The filter media is over 90 percent efficient at capturing particles as small as 10 microns while still flowing at 90 gallons per hour, so fuel delivery keeps up with demand even on high horsepower engines.

The kit includes one 18-79911 Sierra fuel water separator filter (10 micron) and one 18-7853-1 1/4 inch aluminum mounting bracket, giving you a complete, ready-to-install fuel water separator assembly in a single part number. Sierra engineers replacement fuel system parts to meet or exceed the performance of the original equipment they replace, and every Sierra part is backed by Sierra's customer satisfaction warranty.
