Description
Overview
The Easterner Water Separating Fuel Filter 10 Micron delivers clean, dry petrol to protect marine engines during every trip. This spin-on element removes water and fine particles before they reach injectors or carburettors, therefore improving starting and throttle response. In the Easterner range, Part Number C14568 refers specifically to the filter element designed for use with a reusable bowl.
Features
• 10 micron filtration targets fine debris while separating water efficiently.
• Spin-on design enables fast, tidy changes at routine service intervals.
• For reusable bowl systems; includes replacement O-ring in the box.
• Suits petrol only; use upstream of the engine to maximise protection.
Specifications and Materials
Filtration rating: 10 micron nominal. Media type: cellulose blend (typical for marine elements). Form factor: short spin-on element for reusable bowl assemblies. Intended fuel: petrol (2-stroke pre-mix and 4-stroke). Estimated element weight: approx. 0.50 kg based on comparable Easterner spin-on elements; add 0.25 kg for packaging. For recognised marine fuel system guidance and best practice, see the American Boat & Yacht Council overview at abycinc.org/page/standards.
Compatibility and Fitment
The element fits Easterner reusable-bowl heads that accept the 11/16-16 UNC thread used on common outboard filter systems. It also cross-references with Mercury 35-809097 and the Racor S3213 style used on many petrol installations, as reflected in industry listings and our Argomarine page screenshot (secondary). Before installation, compare the thread, gasket diameter and available clearance. Because systems vary, confirm hose routing and bowl orientation to keep the head upright.
Compliance and Safety
Mount the filter head rigidly and away from ignition sources. After each change, prime the fuel line, start the engine and check for leaks. Dispose of fuel-wet elements and absorbents according to local regulations. Replace elements at recommended intervals or sooner if you notice reduced performance, and always carry a spare aboard for contingency.
Marine Applications
Use the Easterner Water Separating Fuel Filter 10 Micron in trailer boats, centre consoles and ski boats that face humidity, storage condensation or inconsistent fuel quality. Because the element separates water early, engines run more smoothly and service life improves. Moreover, the quick spin-on format keeps maintenance simple at the ramp or in the shed.
