Found WIX 33390 Fuel Filters on My Boat

Panamajames · 30-10-2009, 10:34

I found WIX 33390 Fuel filters on my boat I just purchased and can not figure out where they go..

I have a Kohler 8kw and a Yanmar 56 hp marine diesel... I tried to look up cross reference and can not find anything. Nothing that shows they belong on this boat.

Any clues would be appreciated

They would go on the engine mounted secondary fuel filter.

Begin at your fuel tank and follow the fuel line to the engine. You will discover a fuel filter / water separator in this fuel line before it arrives at the engine. Your filters should fit whatever you find.

That is a 10 micron fuel filter. It is used on Kubota, John Deere and Kohler Engines
