Review on Ideal Fuel Water Separator Marine 120AT NPT ZG1/4-19 Automotive Parts with Fitting - Complete Combo Filter Diesel Engine (Includes 2 Fittings, 2 Plugs) by Brian Samaiyar

I bought this filter because I thought it would be a relatively inexpensive option compared to buying a more expensive filter. I bought it because I didn't want to spend more than $100 top and bottom (Racor(R) is more than double the price). Unfortunately I didn't read the fine print and the threading on this model is not standard for North America. I ended up having to tap the thread to a 1/4" NPT thread to fit each 1/4" barb. The 18x1.5mm thread for the spike is not a standard part in the USA. Therefore, the buyer should exercise caution when converting to a different fuel line resistor size than that included in this kit. I'm not sure why they chose metric threads. Also, the filters were pre-assembled and not oiled, so dismantling to oil and fill with fuel required Herculean strength. I damaged the outer part of the filter (dents and scratches) when removing it. I don't think it can be removed without damaging it. All in all very annoying. I wish I had just spent over $75 on a more expensive mass market model.
