This white, plastic-bodied filter installs in the fuel line to trap contaminants and water before they reach the carburetor or fuel injection system, helping protect internal engine components from debris-related wear and fuel system fouling. Keeping a clean, correctly rated fuel filter in place is a key part of routine outboard maintenance and helps maintain consistent engine performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 18-79980 is built to Sierra's engineering standards, which are designed to meet or exceed the specifications of the original equipment part it replaces, while being manufactured to withstand the demands of the marine environment. It is sized and configured to fit a specific range of Yamaha outboard models spanning the LZ, VZ, and Z series, listed below. Each filter is a single-count replacement part intended for straightforward swap-in installation in place of the original Yamaha filter.\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 18-79980\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOEM Cross Reference:\u003c\/strong\u003e 68F-24563-00\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOuter Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e White\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.05 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnit Count:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 filter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yamaha Outboard Fuel Filter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYamaha LZ150 (2000-04)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYamaha LZ200 (2000-04)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYamaha LZ250 (2003-04)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYamaha VZ150 (2000-04)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYamaha VZ175 (2001-04)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYamaha VZ200 (2001-04)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYamaha VZ225 (2003-04)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYamaha VZ250 (2003-04)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYamaha Z150 (2000-04)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYamaha Z175 (2001-04)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYamaha Z200 (2000-04)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYamaha Z250 (2003-04)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eReplaces (OEM)\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e68F-24563-00\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the Sierra 18-79980 fuel filter replace?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-79980 is a direct replacement for Yamaha fuel filter part number 68F-24563-00.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich Yamaha outboard models does the 18-79980 fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 18-79980 fits Yamaha LZ150, LZ200, LZ250, VZ150, VZ175, VZ200, VZ225, VZ250, Z150, Z175, Z200, and Z250 models across the year ranges listed for each model (2000 through 2004).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat color is this fuel filter?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-79980 fuel filter has a white housing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the fuel filter housing made of?\u003c\/strong\u003e The outer body of the 18-79980 is made of plastic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the 18-79980 fuel filter weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e This Sierra fuel filter weighs 0.05 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many filters come in one order?\u003c\/strong\u003e Each order of the Sierra 18-79980 includes one fuel filter, sold as a single unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Sierra 18-79980 an OEM Yamaha part or an aftermarket replacement?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is an aftermarket replacement filter designed to meet or exceed the specifications of the original Yamaha 68F-24563-00 filter it replaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the 18-79980 fit a Yamaha VZ200 from any model year?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 18-79980 is confirmed to fit the Yamaha VZ200 for model years 2001 through 2004; years outside that range are not confirmed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the 18-79980 fit the Yamaha Z150 outboard?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the Sierra 18-79980 fits the Yamaha Z150 for model years 2000 through 2004.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the difference between the LZ, VZ, and Z series fitment for this filter?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-79980 covers all three Yamaha series (LZ, VZ, and Z) but each model within those series has its own confirmed year range, from 2000-04 for the earlier displacement models up to 2003-04 for the larger VZ225, VZ250, LZ250, and Z250 models.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this fuel filter suitable for engines with fuel injection or carburetion?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-79980 is a standard inline fuel filter intended to protect the fuel system on the specific Yamaha outboard models it is listed for.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sierra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48988431843547,"sku":"SIE-18-79980","price":34.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/SIE-18-79980__59701.1558186631.500.750.jpg?v=1785189157","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/yamaha-fuel-filter-replaces-oem-68f-24563-00-for-z-vz-lz-150-250-hp-outboards-2000-2004-sierra-18-79980","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
