[C320-list] Racor Fuel Filter Replacement

[Pat Moriarty]

I believe the 220 series which uses the R24S 2 micron is old and the 
225 series which uses the R26S 2 micron are old and replaced by the 
215R and 230R series. I have always questioned why anyone one would 
use a 2 micron on the inlet side when you have a fine filter on the 
engine. You are looking at plugging it much easier and starving your 
pump. I had a big problem with my tank after I bought the boat and 
put an extra filter in line so now I run 2 10 micron filters in 
series and just change out the first one and the second is just 
insurance or I could put a run around hose and valve and it would be a duplex.
