Re: Dual Pre Filters for Fuel

Our boat's original owner installed a dual filter long ago, a Racor 75500MAX. It gives me a lot of peace of mind. I'm pretty sure it never gave him any trouble and it hasn't given us any either. It's mounted only a bit higher than the original filter, slightly above and to the right (inboard) of it.

Hi Alan,

Ooops. You are correct.  In our case, we run both the genset and the Volvo on one filter.  I change over whenever I note grunge or when changing the little element filter at the top.

Mounted on a SS plate installed on the stbd side of the engine bearer… lined up to the aft portion of the gearbox.

Works very well.
