It installs directly into the fuel line to trap dirt, rust, water, and other contaminants before they reach the carburetor or fuel injection system, helping protect internal engine components from debris-related wear and fuel delivery problems. As an inline design, it mounts within the existing fuel hose run rather than requiring a separate filter housing, making it a straightforward addition or replacement in a boat's fuel system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis filter is sold as a single unit (1 count) and is intended for routine maintenance or as a replacement when an existing inline fuel filter has become clogged or worn. Keeping a clean, functioning fuel filter in place supports consistent fuel flow and helps guard against the performance issues that come with contaminated fuel, such as rough running, stalling, or reduced power.\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 18-79965\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Inline Fuel Filter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mercury Outboard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnit Count:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.2 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 808282387792\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use on Mercury outboard engines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eReplaces (OEM)\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo OEM cross-reference numbers are listed for this part.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Sierra 18-79965 fuel filter used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-79965 is an inline fuel filter that installs in the fuel line of a Mercury outboard engine to filter out dirt, rust, and other contaminants before they reach the engine's fuel system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the 18-79965 filter sold individually?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the Sierra 18-79965 inline fuel filter is sold as a single unit, with a quantity of one filter per package.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the Sierra 18-79965 fuel filter weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e It weighs 0.2 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat engines is the 18-79965 fuel filter designed for?\u003c\/strong\u003e This inline fuel filter is designed for use on Mercury outboard engines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the 18-79965 filter require a separate filter housing?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, it is an inline design that installs directly into the existing fuel hose run rather than requiring a separate canister or housing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat brand makes part number 18-79965?\u003c\/strong\u003e Sierra manufactures the 18-79965 inline fuel filter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen should the 18-79965 fuel filter be replaced?\u003c\/strong\u003e It should be replaced as part of routine fuel system maintenance or when an existing inline filter has become clogged or is no longer filtering effectively.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is included when ordering the 18-79965?\u003c\/strong\u003e The order includes one Sierra 18-79965 inline fuel filter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the Sierra 18-79965 filter protect against water in the fuel?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the inline design of the 18-79965 filter traps water along with dirt and rust before it can reach the carburetor or fuel injection system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the UPC for the Sierra 18-79965 fuel filter?\u003c\/strong\u003e The UPC for this filter is 808282387792.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sierra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48988427354331,"sku":"SIE-18-79965","price":11.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/Sierra-18-79965-Inline-Fuel-Filter__77402.1722497305.500.750.jpg?v=1785188353","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/sierra-18-79965-inline-fuel-filter-for-mercury-outboard-fuel-systems","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
