{"title":"Outboard Water Separating Fuel Filters and Kits","description":"\u003cp\u003eChanged at manufacturer-recommended intervals, A Mercury fuel water separator is a device that works to ensure clean fuel is delivered to the engine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProperly speaking, a Mercury fuel water separator is a small filtering device used to remove the water from the diesel fuel before it reaches to the sensitive parts of the engine. The Mercury Fuel Water separator acts as an added line of defence for your vehicle's fuel system, filtering water and particulates from the fuel before it reaches the fuel filter, ensuring only a flow of clean fuel reaches your engine. A Mercury water separating fuel filter is designed to catch the impurities or water before they reach your engine. The principle behind this filtration system is surprisingly simple; the top of the filter consists of a paper element and the bottom of the filter is a holding tank or bowl. Mercury fuel-water separating filters for all common engine models are available at PartsVu.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMercury fuel-water separating filters will help keep your engine running at peak performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e\u003c!--\n#readMoreTxt {display: none;} #readMoreTxt a {color: #000000;} #readMoreTxt a:visited {color: #000000;} #readMoreBtnContainer a {color: #000000;} #readMoreBtnContainer a:visited {color: #000000;}\n--\u003e\u003c\/style\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"mercury-35-18458t4-water-separating-fuel-filter-fits-mercury-mariner-v-6-efi-dfi-1996-newer","title":"Mercury – Water Separating Fuel Filter | Fuel System Component | Corrosion-Resistant Steel | 18458T4","description":"\u003carticle class=\"text-token-text-primary w-full focus:outline-none [--shadow-height:45px] has-data-writing-block:pointer-events-none has-data-writing-block:-mt-(--shadow-height) has-data-writing-block:pt-(--shadow-height) [\u0026amp;:has([data-writing-block])\u0026gt;*]:pointer-events-auto [content-visibility:auto] supports-[content-visibility:auto]:[contain-intrinsic-size:auto_100lvh] scroll-mt-[calc(var(--header-height)+min(200px,max(70px,20svh)))]\" dir=\"auto\" data-turn-id=\"request-WEB:78fea593-06f1-49f7-a92b-18bb5ae36e8a-88\" data-testid=\"conversation-turn-176\" data-scroll-anchor=\"true\" data-turn=\"assistant\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text-base my-auto mx-auto pb-10 [--thread-content-margin:--spacing(4)] thread-sm:[--thread-content-margin:--spacing(6)] thread-lg:[--thread-content-margin:--spacing(16)] px-(--thread-content-margin)\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"[--thread-content-max-width:40rem] thread-lg:[--thread-content-max-width:48rem] mx-auto max-w-(--thread-content-max-width) flex-1 group\/turn-messages focus-visible:outline-hidden relative flex w-full min-w-0 flex-col agent-turn\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex max-w-full flex-col grow\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-message-author-role=\"assistant\" data-message-id=\"d00d6a71-e2b4-459f-b5f7-5772f6bb7b88\" dir=\"auto\" class=\"min-h-8 text-message relative flex w-full flex-col items-end gap-2 text-start break-words whitespace-normal [.text-message+\u0026amp;]:mt-1\" data-message-model-slug=\"gpt-5\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex w-full flex-col gap-1 empty:hidden first:pt-[1px]\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"markdown prose dark:prose-invert w-full break-words dark markdown-new-styling\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"106\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"104\"\u003eMercury – Water Separating Fuel Filter | Fuel System Component | Corrosion-Resistant Steel | 18458T4\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"108\" data-end=\"111\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"113\" data-end=\"131\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"117\" data-end=\"129\"\u003eOverview\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"132\" data-end=\"674\"\u003eA clean, water-free fuel supply is the key to reliable performance on the water.

Whether you’re running a long stretch offshore or easing back toward the marina in the evening light, it keeps your engine breathing clean so you can enjoy the ride.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eTen micron\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003e water separating filtration for cleaner, safer fuel\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eDurable metal canister built for harsh marine conditions\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eEffectively removes debris, contaminants, and performance-robbing water\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eReplacement element for 8M0157707 and 8M0157708 filter kits\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eDesigned specifically\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003e for vessel-mounted filters on L6 Verado and V10 5.7L Verado engines\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eEngineered to Mercury Marine original equipment standards for proper sealing and fitment\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eEngine \u0026amp; Boat Compatibility\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eFits six-cylinder Verado outboards equipped with the Fuel Supply Module system\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eCompatible with Gen 5 Verado engines within serial ranges 2B144123 and 3B342962\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eDesigned for select 300–425 horsepower 5.7L V10 Verado outboards\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eIdeal for center consoles, offshore fishing boats, dual consoles, and performance-minded vessels running high-demand engines\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003ePerformance \u0026amp; Practical Benefits\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eA water separating fuel filter might seem like a \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003esmall\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003e component, but once you’ve run a boat long enough, you realize how much \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003edepends\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003e on it. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eThis \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eten micron\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003e filter element keeps the fuel system clean and steady, even when the fuel \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003ecoming\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003e from the dock pump isn’t perfect.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003e You’ll feel the difference in the way the engine responds — smoother acceleration, fewer hesitations, and a more confident tone at cruise.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eThe installation itself is straightforward.

Using a genuine Mercury Marine part like 8M0109543 ensures every component — from the clear bowl to the WIF sensor — is engineered specifically for your FourStroke outboard. Aftermarket kits might look similar, but they rarely offer the same precision, durability, or compatibility with Mercury’s electrical systems.

With OEM, you’ll get correct installation, dependable operation, and parts built to survive real marine use — salt, heat, vibration, and everything in between.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eFAQ\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eQ1: Which engines does the 8M0114618 Fuel Filter Kit fit?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003e It fits Mercury L6 Verado outboards from 200 to 300 horsepower within the listed serial number range.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eQ2: What sets it apart from aftermarket filters?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003e Mercury engineers these kits to match Verado flow requirements exactly and to perform consistently in harsh marine environments.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eQ3: How do I confirm this is the right filter for my boat?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003e Match your engine’s serial number or check your owner’s manual for verification.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eQ4: Can it be used in saltwater and freshwater?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003e Absolutely — the materials are designed for both, as long as \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eit’s installed\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003e in a compartment open to air and free of ignition sources.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eQ5: Is installation straightforward?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003e Yes.
