Filters

[pattypape]

Larry,

Thanks, I learned something new today.

I never noticed the emergency knock out plug before, I guess this by-
passes the filter, when you are down on the side of the road. Hopeing
the primary filter will do its' job and not clog until you are in a
safe place. This may not be a good idea.?.?

I have paid from about $8.00 for a Racor filter to the most recent
$13.99 at West Marine. (I wanted another spare for a trip).
At Napa it is a surprize when you open the box, it could be Racor,
Wix, or a no name brand. Sometimes the Micron number is not known
or listed in the parts book, But the price is always listed.?.?.?.
The 13.99 filter from West Marine, states "Genuine Racor Parker",
It is Blue and lists the 10 micron number, and it has the emergency
knockout plug. My other spares do not have this knock-out plug.
