Dumb question on my part as I never had a Racor type filter previously
installed on my boat.
500FG has no priming pump that I can see on the pictures. I suppose
this is because one can just pour fuel from top after removing the top
cover?
My engine is 2GM20 and from the flow rate perspective this filter is an
overkill. I was initially going to install Racor 120 but wanted
230R10 for reason of having the priming pump.
Thanks
Nick

We put a Racor 500 on Perception, located under the sink for easy
access, replaces a spin on which was nothing but issues changing the
filters and priming. We had a lot of ‘stuff’ in the diesel fuel when
we bought Perception, and went thru a lot of filters in the early days.

Missing some info in my choice below - I agree with Andy’s comments
about the shortcomings of the spin-on types which are known to be a
PITA, however my installation location could not tidily accommodate a
larger filter - also it’s worth checking not only the height of the
filter but the required clearances above and below.

After wading through the various models and -to me at least-
someway confusing product info, recently purchased a new
Racor 215R30 as a primary filter for my Yanmar 2GM. I have not
installed it yet. Check industrial channels for this as I
purchased mine for about 2/3 the price of an identical unit
through marine channels. This unit is oversized for our little
engines and though it seemed large at first it will install neatly
in windstar. (33-2). The model I chose has a glass bowl and
integral priming pump.

I am considering replacing my old Racor primary filter
assembly (currently 30 µm filter) with one of the newer ones,
but I am unsure what the difference is between them and hoping
someone can clarify differences I might not recognize. I was
initially looking at the 500 series turbine units which start
around $200. But there are also 120 series spin on units that
are less than $100 and seem like they should work:

Does anyone know if there is a reason not to use the less
expensive models? I plan to also add a remote vacuum gauge at
the helm station if that matters. Thanks- Dave
