The Racor 120R-RAC-01 is a spin-on fuel and water separator with a clear bowl, rated at 10 micron and aimed at gasoline engines, including outboards. Its maximum flow rate is 30 GPH and its maximum pressure is 7 PSI. The clear bowl lets you see water collecting, and the maker says it is suited to outboard and above-deck installations. The spin-on element is simple to replace. It is designed for smaller gasoline applications.
Our take
The 30 GPH maximum flow rate puts the 120R-RAC-01 in the smaller-engine class, which the maker confirms by designing it for smaller gasoline applications. The spin-on element is simple to replace, so a filter change is a quick job in the engine space.
From our buying guide
Parker lists Racor's marine Turbine Series for diesel and biodiesel engines, and Racor says gasoline filters in an enclosed location should use a metal bowl. A micron rating means little without its efficiency.
Check before you buy:
- The efficiency is stated with the micron size. Racor labels its finest element 2 micron and rates it at 98% at 4 microns.
- You know your engine's change interval, since intervals are per model.
- You can fit it on the suction side of the fuel transfer pump, where Racor says to install its 900MA and 1000MA, since pumps emulsify water.
