[C320-list] Racor Primary Fuel Filter - 500MA

[Orlando.Duran at AveryDennison.com]

Funny you should mention that...I just had that installed on cl 3...twin Racor 500FGX--they work great--I had installed it last week along with a fuel pump that allows me to filter the fuel thru the filters without the engined being turned on--poor man's fuel polishing system

One caveat on those for C320 owners, they are relatively big units so measure to see if they will fit in your planned area.

The overall dimensions of what I installed was:
11.25" high
14.50" wide
9.50" depth


Unit weighs about 17lbs

Remember this is for a bigger engine, etc and there are smaller models, just an fyi and safety tip from your uncle O...  :)

I've been thinking about relocating the fuel filter as well, so that I
could access it easily from the door in the aft cabin.  If I were to do
this, I'd like to look into a double filter arrangement that would allow me
to change one filter while using the other.
