    Ranger 520 fuel filter

    Any know where the in line fuel filter is on a 2001 ranger 520VX? Ive looked every where and cant seen to find it. Hoping its not under the seat.

    What engine do you have? It’s very possible that there isn’t an inside filter.
    I also have a 2001 520 vx with a Mercury. I don’t have a filter,as a general rule,Ranger doesn’t install factory filters.

    Only filter that I know of would be added before the engine (Cannister type) water separator.

    Ranger only added the water separator on Yamaha equipped boats. All other fuel filters are on the engine.

    This. Mercury specifies no additional filters are to be added. The one on the engine is the only one.

    Where is the water separator located for the Yamaha equipped boats? Would my Yamaha equipped 2004 519VX have one?

    On my 1999 518VX it is in the rear set back area, if you take the access cover off, inside the splash well area, you should see it on starboard side.

    I have a 01 520VX with a Mercury 225 Optimax and my fuel filter (Canister Style) is located under the motor cowling.
