Installation Notes

  1. Shut off the fuel supply and place a drain pan under the filter.
  2. Using a filter wrench, unscrew the old filter counter-clockwise. Be prepared for some fuel spillage.
  3. Clean the filter mounting base on the engine, ensuring the sealing surface is free of old gasket material and debris.
  4. Lightly lubricate the new filter's O-ring gasket with clean diesel fuel or motor oil.
  5. Carefully spin the new filter onto the housing by hand until the gasket makes contact.
  6. Tighten the filter an additional 3/4 to one full turn by hand. Do not overtighten.
  7. Restore the fuel supply and prime the fuel system according to the engine manufacturer's instructions.
  8. Start the engine and check for any leaks around the filter. If leaks are found, stop the engine and re-check the installation.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

Will this filter fit newer Yanmar 6LPA-STP2 engines?

Yes. This filter is a direct equivalent for the superseded Yanmar part number 119773-55710-12, which is specified for all 6LP and 6LPA series engines, including the 6LPA-STP2, 6LPA-STZP2, and 6LPA-STZP3 models.

What is the difference between Yanmar part 119773-55510 and 119773-55710-12?

Part number 119773-55510 was the original filter for most 6LP series engines. It has been superseded by 119773-55710-12, which offers broader compatibility with newer engine models. This aftermarket filter is designed to meet or exceed the specifications for both part numbers.

How often should I replace this fuel filter?

For optimal engine protection, we recommend replacing the fuel filter as part of your regular maintenance schedule, typically every 250 operating hours or annually, whichever comes first. Refer to your Yanmar engine's service manual for specific interval recommendations.

What are the signs of a clogged fuel filter?

Common symptoms of a failing or clogged fuel filter include engine hesitation, loss of power, difficulty starting, rough idling, or stalling under load. If you experience these issues, the fuel filter is a primary component to inspect and replace.

Is the O-ring gasket included?

Yes, a new O-ring gasket is included with every filter to ensure a proper, leak-proof seal during installation.

What is the filtration rating (in microns)?

While the exact micron rating is not published, this filter is manufactured to meet or exceed OEM specifications for filtration efficiency, effectively removing harmful contaminants to protect your fuel injection system.

This listing is an aftermarket replacement (not OEM). Built to OEM-level specifications with comparable materials. Manufactured in an ISO 9002 facility, batch-inspected for consistency.
