Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I confirm this filter fits my Volvo Penta D3 engine?
This filter fits Volvo Penta D3 series engines (110-190 HP) from 2003–2015. The best way to confirm fitment is to check your engine's model number against the compatibility list or cross-reference your existing filter's part number (31261191 or 8683212).
What are signs my fuel filter needs to be replaced?
Common symptoms of a clogged or failing fuel filter include engine hesitation, loss of power, difficulty starting, rough idling, and reduced fuel efficiency. Regular replacement is key to preventing these issues.
How often should I replace my fuel filter?
Replacement intervals vary based on engine hours, fuel quality, and operating conditions. As a general guideline, it's wise to replace the fuel filter anually or every 200-300 hours of operation, or as specified in your engine's service manual.
The compatibility table mentions "Early Series." Is this important?
Yes. The note "Early Series" indicates this filter is designed for the initial production runs of the D3 engine models. Later versions may use a different filter. Always verify your part number or consult your service manual to ensure you are purchasing the correct component.
