Fuel filter replacement type - JLRedfish - 08-08-2021
I recently purchased a 1986 2700 Open with twin 270 Crusader, around 800 hrs on each. They have generic spin on cartridge fuel filters with no clear bowl underneath. I am thinking of changing to Racor type filters with the clear bowl underneath to visibly check for water. Most of the ones I see are for outboard use only. Are the type with the clear bowl allowed by the Coast Guard to be used on inboard gasoline engines? Thanks for your help. I love reading the responses on this users group. I learn a lot from your experience.

Clear bowls on Racor filters are for outboard motors only. With gas inboards you need the metal bowls.
