YAMAHA 6P2-WS245-00 FUEL FILTER REC6P2-WS245-00

Function and technical context

This fuel filter plays an essential role in the fuel delivery system of high-performance Yamaha engines. Its mission is to retain particles, dirt and contaminants that may be present in the petrol tank or lines before they reach the carburetor or injection system. A filter in good condition guarantees that the fuel is of maximum purity when it reaches the engine, avoiding blockages in the injectors and ensuring optimal combustion. The presence of impurities in the fuel can cause irregular idling, loss of power and, in extreme cases, unexpected engine stops.

When to replace this part?

It is recommended to inspect the fuel filter at the beginning of each navigation season and replace it if it presents saturation of particles, a marked change in color or a clogged appearance. Symptoms of wear include difficulty starting, choppy acceleration or a noticeable reduction in maximum engine speed. Although the exact interval depends on the quality of the fuel and the conditions of use, it is advisable to check its condition every 100-150 hours of operation. Preventive replacement is especially recommended before long voyages, as it avoids emergency repairs at sea and ensures full power availability.
