23686345 Filter Kit | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

The insert-type fuel filter element Volvo Penta lists in the maintenance parts schedule for the MD1, MD2, MD3, MD5, MD11 and MD17 engines. It weighs 0.084 kg. Those same engines are also listed with a spin-on fuel filter, 21492771, so the filter head fitted to the engine decides which of the two you need rather than the engine designation.
