Hi Steve,

I was looking through one of my manuals and found a description of the Racor which listed the metal bowl as a "Fire Deflector" required by safety regulations in marine use. Unfortunately on my Racors the bowl also prevents you from seeing the bottom of the clear plastic reservoir thereby making it difficult to assess the condition of your fuel. Engine failures due to bad fuel can also be a serious safety hazard.
