Racor 500MA10 Turbine Fuel Filter/Water Separator

Brand:
Racor
Part no:
500MA10

Racor's single 500 Marine Turbine assembly for diesel and biodiesel engines: 98% at 10 micron, 60 gph, with a clear engineering plastic bowl in a stainless steel shield. Racor's specification sheet lists 15 psi maximum, recommends vacuum installation, and lists replacement elements 2010SM-OR (2 micron), 2010TM-OR (10 micron) and 2010PM-OR (30 micron); Parker's 500MA10 datasheet rates its "2" micron elements at 98% at 4 microns.

Our take

A sensible pick if you run a diesel and want a 10 micron turbine filter rated at 60 gph. Skip it if you start in cold weather and expect a heater, since the in-filter heater is optional and extra. Confirm the 2010TM-OR element fit and your engine's micron requirement before ordering.
