Quicksilver 8M0122423 Fuel Filter Element for Select Mercury Outboards and MerCruiser Sterndrive Engines

Great product....perfect fit

When it comes to filters, I always put on the name brand (Mercury or Quicksilver) and I like to do it every year regardless if you used non ethanol gas or not. I try not to play around with that and avoid dirty injectors. And get the special key like the one showing in the picture or you most likely will be in a world of pain.

OEM replacement

Worked great! Would order again

This filter is essential for the Mercury outboards. For my motor (135HP) it fit perfectly. This is a cartridge that goes into a built-in canister inside the engine and it also protects the fuel system from injecting fuel contaminated with water into the injectors or cylinders. All owners of motors that use this kind of filter should carry spares on board, to protect the motor from contaminated fuel coming from multiple sources.

Not much to say, it's a quality OEM brand fuel filter. If you like taking care of your outboard with OEM brand filters, then this is the one for you. Be sure you have the special tool for removing and installing these. You can get aftermarket ones here on Amazon pretty cheap. I definitely recommend one vs trying to twist this off with a screwdriver or other means, which I have done before, but it's not fun.

Easy install with the proper tool, but it was missing the lower gasket. For the price I paid I expected all new gasket. A little upset about that.

I replace this part annually on my Mercruiser 4.5l MPI as part of my fall preventative maintenance. This is the OEM part so you know it isn't going to give you problems and is cheap insurance against fuel problems. Do yourself a favor and get the proper removal tool for this easy, 5 minute do-it-yourself job.

Perfect fit as OEM part should. Bought for my 2007 225 Optimax

Easy install. Fits like oem

As advertised. Worked great on my Mercruiser.

very good product

I returned this filter. The filter I received was not a genuine Mercury Quicksilver OEM filter. Luckily I had an OEM filter in hand to compare it to. I have shown some of the differences in my photos. Among them, the Mercury OEM filter has a thicker and better fitting O-ring, it is a deeper colour, has thicker filter material and there is a metal clip holding the pleat (the one I just got does not have this). Also, the NON-OEM filter has some sort of weird glue substance in the opening above the pleated filter that the OEM one does not - again, see pictures. I want to ensure buyers are aware. I would not risk putting this into my engine.
