Product Overview

The Racor 320R-RAC-01 is a complete 10-micron gasoline fuel/water separator assembly designed for outboard marine engine fuel systems. It combines a three-port aluminum mounting head, a spin-on Aquabloc® II filter element, and a reusable clear collection bowl with a self-venting drain. The clear bowl allows instant visual inspection of accumulated water and debris without disassembly, and the self-venting drain makes it easy to remove collected water between filter changes. The aluminum mounting head and reusable bowl are designed for long-term service — only the spin-on filter element (S3227) requires periodic replacement.

• Complete assembly — aluminum 3-port mounting head, 10-micron spin-on filter element, and clear bowl included
• 10-micron Aquabloc® II filter media removes up to 99% of free water and fine particulate contamination
• Reusable clear collection bowl for visual water and contamination monitoring
• Self-venting drain for easy water removal between filter changes
• Electrostatically applied powder-coat head for superior corrosion resistance
• Replaceable spin-on filter element: S3227
• Max flow: 60 GPH / 227 LPH
• Ports: 1/4"-18 NPTF (3-port head)
• Max pressure: 7 PSI
• Fuel type: Gasoline only
• Dimensions: 9.16" H x 3.9" W x 4.02" D
• Weight: approx. 560 g / 1.25 lb

Outboard / Above-Deck Use Only: The clear plastic bowl is approved for outboard and above-deck installations. For inboard or below-deck gasoline installations, use the metal-bowl version 320R-RAC-02, which meets applicable inboard installation requirements. Confirm your installation type before ordering.

Compatible Applications

• Outboard gasoline engine fuel systems with compatible 1/4"-18 NPTF fuel connections and fuel-flow requirements within 60 GPH
• Above-deck gasoline fuel system installations requiring a serviceable 10-micron water separator with visual bowl inspection
• Fuel systems where an aluminum mounting head with a reusable bowl is preferred over a disposable spin-on assembly
• Any outboard or above-deck gasoline application within the 60 GPH / 7 PSI rating

Fitment Note: Confirm the engine’s actual fuel-flow demand is within 60 GPH and that the fuel lines are compatible with 1/4"-18 NPTF fittings before ordering. This assembly is rated for gasoline only — not for diesel fuel systems.

Dimensions

• Height: 9.16" / 23.27 cm
• Width: 3.9" / 9.91 cm
• Depth: 4.02" / 10.21 cm
• Required service clearance below filter: at least 2" / 5.1 cm for element removal

Service Information

Replace the S3227 spin-on filter element per the engine or fuel-system manufacturer’s maintenance schedule, or sooner if fuel restriction symptoms develop, contamination is visible in the clear bowl, or reduced fuel flow is observed. Drain collected water from the bowl as needed using the self-venting drain. The mounting head and clear bowl are reusable and do not require replacement during routine element changes.

Installation Notes

• Mount the assembly securely in an accessible location along the fuel line, in an upright or near-upright orientation
• Connect fuel lines to the appropriate inlet and outlet ports on the 1/4"-18 NPTF three-port head using compatible fittings
• Position the clear bowl where it can be visually inspected and drained easily
• Allow at least 2" / 5.1 cm of clearance below the filter element for future spin-on element removal
• After installation, prime the fuel system per the engine manufacturer’s procedure and inspect all fittings and seals for fuel leakage before starting the engine
• Do not use in inboard or below-deck gasoline installations — clear bowl is for outboard / above-deck use only

Technical FAQ

What is the replacement filter element for the 320R-RAC-01? The replacement spin-on filter element is the Racor S3227 (10 micron). The mounting head and clear bowl are reusable — only the spin-on element requires replacement at each service interval.

What is the difference between 320R-RAC-01 and 320R-RAC-02? The 320R-RAC-01 has a clear plastic bowl for outboard / above-deck installations. The 320R-RAC-02 has a metal bowl for inboard and below-deck installations where a metal bowl is required. Both use the same S3227 replacement element.

Can I use this filter on an inboard gasoline engine? No — the clear plastic bowl version (320R-RAC-01) is for outboard and above-deck installations only. Use the 320R-RAC-02 metal-bowl version for inboard applications.

What is the port thread size? The three-port aluminum mounting head uses 1/4"-18 NPTF threads. Confirm your fuel line fittings are compatible before installation.

What is the maximum fuel flow? 60 GPH / 227 LPH. Confirm the engine’s actual fuel demand is within this rating — fuel flow requirements vary by engine type and horsepower.

Parts Desk Insights

The 320R-RAC-01 is a mid-capacity outboard separator with a reusable aluminum head and clear bowl — positioned between the simpler B32013 spin-on (which has a disposable head) and the full 500 Series turbine assemblies. The key fitment questions are: 1) Is the installation outboard / above-deck? (clear bowl version only) 2) Is the fuel-flow demand within 60 GPH? 3) Are the fuel lines compatible with 1/4"-18 NPTF fittings? The most common service question is what the replacement element is — it’s the S3227 spin-on. Remind customers the mounting head and bowl are reusable; only the spin-on element gets replaced. Also note the 2"-minimum service clearance requirement — this catches people out in tight engine compartment installations.
