OE: 818627 Parts

The part number 818627 is associated with a fuel filter for various Volvo Penta marine engines. Below is a detailed introduction:
Product: Fuel Filter (818627) Compatible Models: - Designed specifically for Volvo Penta marine engines, including both gasoline and diesel variants. - Commonly used in engines like the Volvo Penta AQ series, as well as various stern-drive and inboard engines. - Used across a range of marine applications, from small recreational boats to larger vessels with Volvo Penta power units. Function: - The fuel filter’s main role is to clean fuel before it enters the engine’s fuel system. It removes contaminants, such as dirt, rust, and water, which can damage the engine and fuel injectors. - By filtering out impurities, it ensures the efficient operation of the engine, preventing performance issues and prolonging the engine’s life. Material: - Constructed from high-quality filter paper or synthetic fibers, designed to capture even the smallest particles of dirt and debris. - Housed in a durable, corrosion-resistant metal or plastic casing to withstand harsh marine environments and exposure to moisture. Features: OE (Original Equipment) Standard: Designed and manufactured to meet Volvo Penta’s strict specifications, ensuring proper fitment and performance. Efficient Filtration: Capable of filtering out even minute particles, ensuring that only clean fuel reaches the engine. Water Separation: In marine environments, fuel can become contaminated with water. The filter helps to separate water from the fuel, preventing engine damage and corrosion. Durable Construction: Engineered to withstand the tough conditions of marine use, including exposure to saltwater, vibrations, and extreme temperatures. Importance of Regular Replacement: - Over time, the fuel filter can become clogged with debris, reducing fuel flow and causing performance issues such as engine stalling, reduced power, or difficulty starting. - Regular replacement of the fuel filter ensures optimal fuel efficiency, engine performance, and prevents costly damage to other fuel system components like fuel injectors. Signs of a Failing Fuel Filter: Engine Misfires: A clogged filter may lead to inconsistent fuel supply, causing the engine to misfire or run rough. Difficulty Starting: If the fuel filter is heavily clogged, it can restrict fuel flow, making it hard to start the engine. Loss of Power: Reduced fuel flow can lead to a noticeable loss of engine power, especially under load. Increased Fuel Consumption: An inefficient fuel filter can cause the engine to work harder, leading to higher fuel consumption. This fuel filter is essential for maintaining the cleanliness of the fuel in your Volvo Penta marine engine, ensuring it operates smoothly, efficiently, and reliably even in harsh marine conditions. Regular filter replacement is crucial for preventing engine damage and maintaining peak performance.
