Racor 500MA Fuel Filter Water Separator

Description

Filter diesel fuel and separate collected water in a compact installation with the Racor 500MA Fuel Filter Water Separator. This single-assembly compact turbine fuel filter and water separator is specified for marine diesel auxiliary generators and small inboard sailboat engines, with a continuous clean-flow rating of 60 GPH (227 LPH/1.0 GPM).

The Racor 500MA uses a 30-micron Aquabloc® corrugated Series 2010PM red element and is rated for a maximum internal system pressure of 15.0 PSI (1.03 bar). Its impact-resistant clear bowl, USCG protective stainless heat shield, and positive-seal self-venting manual drain valve support routine diesel fuel-system inspection and water-draining service.

Fitment and Maintenance Use

The Racor 500MA is specified for marine diesel auxiliary generators and small inboard sailboat engines. It supports diesel fuel filtration and water-separation service within its stated 60 GPH continuous clean-flow rating and 15.0 PSI maximum internal system pressure. Confirm fitment using the engine model, serial number, and manufacturer service documentation before ordering.

Installation and Service Considerations

Confirm that the fuel-system plumbing matches the 3/4-inch-16 UNF SAE J1926 O-ring boss ports and that the installation location accommodates the 11.5 x 5.8 x 4.8 inch assembly. Do not exceed the listed 15.0 PSI maximum internal system pressure. Inspect the clear bowl and use the positive-seal self-venting manual drain valve according to the product instructions. Follow the engine manufacturer’s service manual and the product instructions for installation and service procedures. Verify the engine model and serial number before service.

Before Ordering the Racor 500MA

Confirm that Racor part number 500MA fits your marine diesel auxiliary generator or small inboard sailboat-engine fuel system. Verify the single-turbine fuel filter and water-separator design, 60 GPH (227 LPH/1.0 GPM) continuous clean-flow rating, 30-micron Series 2010PM Aquabloc® red element, 15.0 PSI (1.03 bar) maximum system pressure, 3/4-inch-16 UNF SAE J1926 O-ring boss ports, clear bowl with stainless heat shield, manual drain valve, and 11.5 x 5.8 x 4.8 inch installation size. Confirm compatibility with your engine manufacturer’s documentation before purchase.
