RACOR Fuel Filter Clear Bowl Falls Off
Posted: Fri Oct 25, 2019 3:20 pm
Recently my RACOR fuel filter started dropping its clear plastic bowl in the bilge making a big mess, and even happened while underway. What is going on?
I have had the system for 15 years, and have replaced the filter element each year, But now the bowl threads won't grip.
Q1: Is [the cause] just old-age:
Q2: Or, is the cause due to ethanol?
Q3: Can I switch to a filter without a bowl?
Q4: Should I?
