Sierra 18-99199 Canister Fuel/Water Separator Filter, 30 Micron, Spin-On Design

The Sierra 18-99199 is a spin-on canister fuel/water separator (FWS) filter rated at 30 microns, designed to protect marine engines from contaminated fuel and emulsified water. The spin-on canister design allows for fast, simple element changes without tools or mess, making routine maintenance easier for boat owners and technicians alike.

The 30 micron filter media is over 90% efficient at removing particles as small as 30 microns from the fuel supply, helping to keep injectors, carburetors, and fuel pumps free of debris. The filter also meets OEM specifications for removal of emulsified water, a common cause of rough running and corrosion in marine fuel systems. The outer canister is constructed of epoxy-coated plastic to resist corrosion in the harsh marine environment, and each filter includes a replacement gasket and O-ring for a secure, leak-free seal on installation.

Sierra engineers this filter to meet or exceed the performance of the original equipment part it replaces, and it is intended for watercraft fuel systems. It is backed by Sierra's manufacturer warranty.
