Genuine Volvo Penta spin-on gasoline fuel filter 3862228 with water-separating element designed for 1994–2007 V6 and V8 marine engines.

This is a brand-new, factory-original Volvo Penta fuel filter (part number 3862228) built to remove water and particulates from gasoline before they reach the fuel system. The unit is a direct-fit replacement for compatible Volvo Penta V6 and V8 engines produced from 1994 through 2007 and supersedes the older 3852413 reference. It ships as a single filter cartridge; please confirm fitment for your specific engine model and serial range prior to ordering.

How does this filter protect my engine while boating?

The 3862228 is a water-separating spin-on filter that traps dirt and coalesces water so contaminants drain away before reaching fuel injectors or carburetors. Using a genuine OEM element ensures media compatibility and correct flow characteristics for Volvo Penta fuel systems.

• Water separation reduces corrosion and injector fouling
• Fine filtration captures particulates that damage pumps and injectors
• Spin-on design simplifies replacement during routine service
• OEM specification maintains factory fuel pressure and flow

Will this part fit my V6 or V8 engine model?

The filter is intended for Volvo Penta gasoline V6 and V8 engines produced between 1994 and 2007, replacing part number 3852413 where applicable. Because Volvo Penta used several variations across model years, always verify compatibility by cross-referencing your engine serial or the existing filter’s part number.

• OEM part number: 3862228 (supersedes 3852413)
• Fits many 1994–2007 gasoline V6 and V8 Volvo Penta engines
• Confirm fit with engine serial or dealer parts catalog
• Sold individually (single filter)

How do I replace and maintain this spin-on fuel filter?

Replacement is straightforward: relieve fuel system pressure, unscrew the old spin-on canister, inspect the mounting surface and O-ring, then install the new OEM filter tightened to the specified torque. Proper disposal of the contaminated element and any separated water is recommended to meet environmental rules.

• Depressurize fuel system before removal
• Lubricate new O-ring and hand-thread before final torque
• Check for leaks after installation and run the engine briefly
• Replace on schedule or when water/contaminant presence is detected

It’s especially suitable for boat owners and marine technicians who prioritize original-equipment compatibility and straightforward maintenance. Always verify fitment for your specific engine serial and service needs before purchase to ensure correct application and safe operation.
