This is the Racor S3228TUL, a spin-on replacement element for inboard and outboard fuel filter and water separator housings. It is an Aquabloc element with a 10 micron rating. It is listed for the 320R-RAC-01/02 and 490R-RAC-01 series, so match it to your housing's model before changing anything.
Our take
The 10 micron Aquabloc rating is the number to match against your engine maker's requirement. The element is listed for 320R-RAC-01/02 and 490R-RAC-01 series housings, so confirm yours is one of those before swapping it in.
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.
