Troubleshooting & FAQ
How can I confirm this filter fits my engine?
Check your existing filter for a part number and compare it to the list in our Part Number Matrix. Additionally, find your engine model in the compatibility table above. If both your part number and engine model are listed, it will fit.
Is this filter different from the original Volvo Penta part?
This is a direct aftermarket replacement built to meet or exceed OEM specifications. One notable difference is that some very early versions of the original part (3840335) had a drain, whereas the current replacement (21624740) and this aftermarket version do not.
What is the recommended replacement interval for this fuel filter?
For most Volvo Penta diesel engines, the recommended interval is every 200 hours of operation or annually, whichever comes first. Refer to your engine's service manual for the specific maintenance schedule.
What are the signs of a clogged or failing fuel filter?
Common symptoms include a loss of engine power, difficulty starting, rough idling, or engine stumbling under load. If you notice any of these issues, inspect and replace your fuel filter as a first step.
