Carburator Filter

Mercury/MerCruiser Carburetor Fuel Strainer - 53336T

This replacement fuel filter element fits inside the carburetor on 3.0L, 4.3L, 5.0L and 5.7L MerCruiser engines.

Replacing a fuel strainer is important because it prevents contaminants like dirt and debris from entering the fuel pump, which can significantly impact engine performance by restricting fuel flow, leading to reduced power, hard starting, poor acceleration, and even potential fuel pump failure if left unaddressed.

Fits just inside the carburetor on MerCruiser engines where the fuel line joins the carburetor
