🔌 Function

Traps dirt and water carried in the fuel before they reach the components downstream that fine debris would wear or block.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Power falling away under load, worst at higher revs
• Hard starting or an engine that will not hold its prime
• Water or dark sludge found in the filter bowl
• Fuel weeping from the filter joint
• Engine surging or hunting at steady throttle

🛠️ Service Notes

• Check whether your engine takes the spin-on filter or the alternative 877765 before ordering
• Renew the sealing rings with the filter, fill and prime it before starting, and check for weeping with the engine running - fuel leaking in an engine space is a fire risk
• If water keeps appearing, deal with the tank and its vent rather than just changing the filter more often
• Always refer to the operator's manual for the recommended maintenance and service intervals for your engine and drive
• Listed against more than one engine or drive family - check the qualifier that applies to your own engine or drive
