jonnyswamp Posted September 14, 2022 Author Share Posted September 14, 2022 It came with 2 racors and the standard engine filter, they're not piped as a bypass just one after the other Did think it was overkill and was going to remove one, just haven't got around to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just switch to the good one, carry on and change when back at the mooring! The chances of a Racor filter failing are pretty remote, however, the housings can fail and suck in air, as that happened on the Jeep. Switching to a good one wouldn't help as you now have air in the diesel system which would need to be bled out. A lot of plant does run 2 filters, the pre filter which could be 10 or 30 micron, and the main filter which would probably be 3 micron. Often, these filters are fitted with a bypass tap.
