Current sources specifically associate it with D3 models including \u003cstrong\u003eD3-140, D3-150, D3-170, D3-200, and D3-220\u003c\/strong\u003e, D4 models including \u003cstrong\u003eD4-180, D4-210, D4-225, D4-260, and D4-300\u003c\/strong\u003e, and D6 models including \u003cstrong\u003eD6-280, D6-300, D6-310, D6-330, D6-350, D6-370, D6-400, and D6-435\u003c\/strong\u003e. One source also notes use on \u003cstrong\u003eolder models up to 2019\u003c\/strong\u003e. Because sensor fitment can vary by filter head and production range, final fitment should still be confirmed by engine serial number.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSerial Number Fitment Notice\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMatch Volvo Penta part number \u003cstrong\u003e3808616\u003c\/strong\u003e to your engine serial number and the correct Volvo Penta fuel-system diagram before ordering. Water-in-fuel sensors can look similar while fitting different fuel-filter bases or harness layouts, so exact application matters more than appearance alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhen This Part Needs Replacement\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis sensor should be replaced when the water-in-fuel warning becomes unreliable, the sensor body is damaged, the connector or wiring is compromised, or contamination or leakage is found during fuel-filter service. It is also worth checking anytime the fuel filter and filter base are already apart. This service guidance is a practical inference based on the part being identified as the water-in-fuel sensor at the bottom of the fuel filter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConfirm the exact application before installation, and compare the removed sensor carefully against the replacement part, especially at the connector and mounting point on the fuel filter base. Because current sources place this sensor at the bottom of the filter assembly, clean installation and correct sealing at the filter housing matter more than a quick visual match.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAlternate\/Superseded Part Numbers\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reviewed sources continue to list \u003cstrong\u003e3808616\u003c\/strong\u003e as the active Volvo Penta OEM number. Current aftermarket-style references also show \u003cstrong\u003eREC3808616\u003c\/strong\u003e as a related replacement reference, but that is best treated as a cross-reference number rather than a confirmed Volvo Penta supersession.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eParts Desk Insight\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith sensors like this, the easy mistake is matching only by connector style. Checking the exact fuel-filter setup first usually saves time, especially when D3, D4, and D6 engines can share similar-looking fuel-system sensors across different production years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShipping:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ships same or next day for fast Canada wide shipping. ⚓\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VOL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43564005621796,"sku":"3808616","price":181.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/5799\/7604\/files\/037a31ba-5885-4831-b7af-bb59c0554725.png?v=1776656234","url":"https:\/\/marisolmarine.com\/products\/volvo-582","provider":"Marisol Marine Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
