Sound good. I have heard of Fram gaskets twisting off the canister if you don't lub them. |

Thanks! What about lightly oiling the treads and the gasket?

Was told to 1/2 fill the new cartridge with gas in order to prime it.
Which is what I did. |

I will do that when I get home! Trying to accomplish something I want to do on the road!
I have never had a boat with this type of filter, any guidance to reinstalling it like “oil the threads” or other tips? Thanks! Otto |

I am trying to find a replacement FUEL/WATER Filter for my 1999 285 HP Carberated PCM engine. What is on it now is a Merc 35-60494-1A. I have searched for that filter and I can’t find that exact filter. Internet search has turned up some options but they all look shorter than what I have installed in there now?! From the forums I have learned you have worry about flow rates. So, that being said can anyone recommend a premium replacement for that filter number, and do I have to worry about 10 micron vs. 25 micron filtration?
Thanks!!!! |
