Wade,
Look at the picture of a 500 series racor in the link below. The factory
top has a t handle which is used to tighten the lid. The vacuum gauge
which Joe linked replaces that t-handle. The t arms are not used to sense
pressure - just for tightening the lid.
Hi Joe
Looking at the guage you've linked to, its obvious the "T" arms go in the
fuel line between the Racor and engine. Where does the threaded base of the
T go? What is a normal pressure? What pressure reading makes you decide to
change filters? Are the lined just clamped with small hose
Regarding Joe's post: the official Racor vacuum gage is designed to fit the
500 series racor. The smaller one like I show in my video is no longer
available new but was frequently installed on our era boats and is likely
to still be on many of them. It is a 200 series. The 200 series has no
A vacuum gauge is one of the best cost/benefit ratio improvements you
can do. You can save a lot of $$$ in unneeded filter changes and get
advanced warning when you do need to change one.

Time and again I have read that Yanmar does not recommend a 2/3 micron primary
filter. I therefore use a 10 micron, and use Biobar, as well as some Seafoam.
I have some old crud in my tank, but where I can see it through the hole for
the sender, the bits I can see are pretty well stuck to
I have those tracks on the cockpit edge as well, but no blocks there to use
them. What kind of car does one use there that can be easily removed? Dave
