Installation Notes

  1. Safety First: Work in a well-ventilated area away from sparks or flames. Disconnect the battery and consult your engine's service manual.
  2. Depressurize Fuel System: Safely relieve the fuel pressure from the system according to the manufacturer's procedure to prevent spray.
  3. Access the VST: Locate and remove the Vapor Separator Tank (VST) cover. This may require removing other components for access.
  4. Remove Old Filter: Carefully note the orientation of the old filter, then remove it from the VST housing.
  5. Install New Filter: Install the new filter in the same orientation as the original. Ensure it is seated correctly.
  6. Reassemble & Test: Reinstall the VST cover, reconnect all lines, and re-secure any components that were removed. Reconnect the battery, prime the fuel system, and check thoroughly for leaks before starting the engine.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

How do I know if my VST filter needs to be replaced?

Common signs of a clogged VST filter include engine hesitation, sputtering, bogging down under load, or a failure to reach full RPM. These symptoms indicate the high-pressure fuel pump is being starved of fuel.

What is the recommended replacement interval?

For preventative maintenance, it is best to consult your owner's manual. However, many technicians recommend replacing the VST filter every 100-300 hours or annually, depending on fuel quality and usage.

Can I clean and reuse the old filter?

No. The filter media is designed to trap microscopic particles. Attempting to clean it is ineffective and can damage the filter, leading to contamination of the high-pressure fuel system and injectors.

Is this the only fuel filter on my engine?

No. Most outboards have multiple fuel filters. This is the high-pressure filter located inside the VST. Your engine will also have a low-pressure filter, typically a canister or in-line type, located before the VST.

OEM vs. Aftermarket?

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