Racor Information

[boatsarefunus]

Here is some more information on the Racor Change.
This only applies to the "older" 500 Series Diesel Filter Housings.
A rubber spacer Part# 15424 is available free of charge from Racor by
calling their tech support number 800-344-3286. I was not sure if the
vintage Birds used 500, 900, or 1000 series housings. Again this only
applies to the 500 series as far as I know. A call to their tech
support number above might reveal any other information.

By the way, their tech support bulletins # 7627 and 7566, available on
their web site state that the new style elements are a form, fit, and
function exact replacement for the old style elements in the 900, 1000
series. No information or mention about the 500 series problem and
resolution is posted.

Hope this helps to clarify.

Boatless and still looking for the right Bird.
