Package Contents

1 x Fuel Filter Element (Replaces 16911-ZY3-010/16911-ZY3-000)

Installation Guide

Professional installation is recommended. The general steps below are for reference only.

1. Safety First: Disconnect the battery and work in a well-ventilated area away from any sparks or flames.
2. Relieve Fuel Pressure: Follow your engine’s service manual to safely relieve pressure from the fuel system.
3. Locate and Remove VST: The Vapor Separator Tank (VST) is typically located on the side of the engine block. Disconnect fuel lines and electrical connectors, then remove the mounting bolts to detach the VST assembly.
4. Disassemble the VST: Carefully remove the screws holding the VST cover. Note the orientation of the cover and internal components.
5. Remove Old Filter: The high-pressure filter is located inside the VST. Remove the old filter element, taking care not to lose the installation spring.
6. Install New Filter: Place the new filter element into the VST housing with the spring, ensuring it is seated correctly.
7. Replace O-Ring: This is a critical step. Remove the old cover plate O-ring and install a new one (Honda P/N: 16078-ZY3-000, not included) to ensure a proper seal.
8. Reassemble and Reinstall VST: Secure the VST cover, then reinstall the entire assembly onto the engine. Reconnect all fuel lines and electrical connectors.
9. Check for Leaks: Prime the fuel system according to your owner's manual. Once primed, carefully inspect the VST cover and all fuel line connections for any signs of leaks before starting the engine.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

Q: How can I confirm this filter fits my Honda engine?
A: The surest way is to match your existing part number to one of the cross-references listed: 16911-ZY3-010, 16911-ZY3-000, Sierra 18-79908, or Volvo 21646645. You can also check the "Compatible Engine Models" table to see if your specific model is listed.

Q: What are the symptoms of a clogged high-pressure fuel filter?
A: Common signs include engine hesitation, sputtering, difficulty starting, stalling at idle, or a loss of power and RPMs at cruising or high speeds.

Q: How often should I replace this filter?
A: For optimal engine performance and reliability, it is recommended to replace the high-pressure fuel filter during your annual (or 100-hour) service. It is a critical maintenance item for fuel-injected outboards.

Q: Why do I need to replace the O-ring? It looks fine.
A: The VST cover O-ring is a single-use seal that compresses and deforms. Reusing it can lead to an improper seal, resulting in dangerous high-pressure fuel leaks. For safety, always use a new O-ring during installation.
