Hello,
I am thinking about replacing the ancient Racor 200fg filter on my Yanmar 2gm.
The stainless steel band that clamps the lid down with a side-mounted knob is difficult to secure and the bleeder valve on the bottom is somewhat stripped.
So, what would be the best replacement?
Would the Racor 500fg2 be the right call?
Also, when I do replace it, would it be wise to keep it in roughly the same position? (It appears to be at the same level as the bottom of the fuel tank, for what that is worth.) I would like to place it higher on the bulkhead to make it more accessible.
Thanks for any thoughts you might have. I just recently discovered this site and it is great to have a resource like this.
