496 Mag and HO in line fuel filter
I think I have found Mercs OEM builder for this product and you can buy it for a fraction of the cost $16.00. Does anyone know if this is the same part? What other in line filters can be used?

I thought an inline filter on the 496 could cause them to vapor lock? the only filter on them is a micro screen on the fuel pump. At least that is what I found out when they first came out.

We have done a couple high end in lines before the high pressure fuel pump....the billet kind for race cars....they have a removable mesh screen inside that an be cleaned.....they work well.....just check with Merc about the specific flow rate for your motor if you take this route.

Thats a good find. I changed mine over to automotive filters. I replaced the NPT fittings with barbed flare fittings available at any auto parts dept. Works well and cheap.

I think the biggest problem with the boost pumps are that they see the gas "BEFORE" the separator does, Hence the addition of the inline which really only catches the big junk, not the small junk. |

So what is the micron screening level for the 496 inline filter? I'm sure there's a post in the archives, i just don't have the time to search.

I'm running solely off the water/fuel separating filter. No problems so far in 170 + hours.

Be careful guys. The system operates around 40lbs. You can also find the inline filters with flare fittings and will be safer and easier to change in the future.
