About Racor 500's... on our 40'er we used the 500's and Bounty paper towels. The regular size rolls fit and are an inexpensive option for polishing versus Racor filters. DO NOT go cheap with a lesser brand. Buy Bounty.
The larger rolls won't fit so you'll have to remove some of the towels. That's why I suggested the standard size. I borrowed a pair of 500's when I polished the fuel in Seaweed a few years back. It worked.
There's probably a reason not to opt for Bounty but it worked for us. The 40'er had a Cummins tractor motor that my dad had marinized. I wish I'd paid more attention to that!!
Oh, and sneak peek and my beautiful new acquisition: (I'm so tickled I can hardly stand myself!)
I'm confused, first, are you saying you put paper towels in a Racor 500 filter housing? I'm guessing not, because I can't see how they would fit. Seeing how tall the roll is.
And what is that manifold supposed to be for, exhaust elbow? And what brand and model of engine is it going on?
