Fuel filter?

[2515R Dude]

Dude, good find on the filter! I was needing one for the 5520.
$80. some dollars is hard to swallow for a fuel filter from TYM.....
Thanks again

Some members say there are better options available, hope they elaborate

The chinesse housing is considerably less expensive then the genuine Racor,
the actual Racor filters are likely to be a better quality filter , in the R12 lineup you can actually get a 2 micron filter element.

Of course I got to browsing the Racor website, guess what I found;

Buy once, cry once with the Racor filters. I put a 215r on my tractor with a 2 micron element. The replacement filters can be found a case at a time for $10 each.

They look awfully similar the amazon's one, probably made at the same plant,
I think i'll buy the housing from the amazon but the filter elements from racor.
Actually R12t is a 10 micron filter according to Racor website.
the 2 micron is R12SUL.

Finally got around to install a new fuel filter. I'm sure the old one would serve me for another 500 hours, but me being **** about maintenance wanted to do it now.
I decided to try one from amazon. If i didn't like it, easy to return. Chosen the one with the best reviews even though I'm 99% sure they all are made at the same plant with the genuine Racor, the only difference is the writing.
It looked to be very good quality which confirmed my 99% opinion. Really solid, great machine work and cost only $18 (with 10% coupon).
It is a little larger then the OEM, so I had to change the location and fabricate a new bracket. Took me a little while (about 2 hours including drying time), but now i hope i'm set for life.

Here is the filter: Amazon.com
