Yanmar Fuel Filter

[Neil McDonald]

Just coming to grips with fuel filtration for the Yanmar 3GM30F engine on my newly acquired Hunter 35 . A 2 micron Raycor unit has been installed by a PO to supplement the standard Yanmar fuel filter. I hope that the Racor is downstream of the Yanmar filter, but have yet to get my head into the right position to check!! My objective is a ten micron fuel filter upstream of a 2 micron unit. Anyone know the nominal opening size on the standard Yanmar filter?Neil

Yanma Filter

NeilJust went through a series of posts last week on the same subject for my 356. Same engine as yours. My racor filter is a 30 micron filter and the engine filter on the Yanmar is a 2 micron filter. Most appear to use a 10 micron filter for the racor, a few have 2 micron filters with a second filter in parallel which can be valved in if the first filter plugs. Se all the posts last week. Bottom line is a 10 micron external followed by the 2 micron Yanmar should be fine.Marc

I have 10 micron on my 4JH3E # R20 TUL and cannot as yet find a replacement. Anyone know of a supplier? preferably in Canada Tony

R20TUL

TonyCan you find an R20T? I was told that the UL is no longer being produced and the UL designation, just means the the filter is certified by underwriter labs for commercial use.Marc
