Spin on filter help

Submitted by CCC on Mon, 2011-07-18 18:09

Hi all

 

Just replacing my spin on fuel filter(Racor S3214) on my Yamaha 150 4 stroke and have noticed that there is a gasket about 1" in diameter that I can not find a home for. Has anyone come across this before. I've replaced the gasket where the spin on filter meets the housing and the o ring where the clear bowl screws on. This little 1" gasket/oring has me stumped.

Thanks in advance

 Hi CCC I have the same filter on my boat and if you are talking about the square section round oring that comes with the filter I was told its not needed and I throw it away each time I change the filter hope that helps

thanks Darrin.

 

How do you get the filter full of fuel after refittting. The primer blub is on the motor side of the filter and will not fill the filter?

 

Thanks heaps

If you can fill the filter

If you can fill the filter before you fit it, you shouldn't need to prime it mate.
