Wix Fuel Filter WIX 33247 for Volvo Penta & OMC Engines — Spin-On Water-Separating, Durable Seal

The WIX 33247 is a premium replacement fuel filter engineered to protect Volvo Penta and OMC marine engines by removing dirt, rust, scale and water from fuel before it reaches critical components.

Designed for boatowners and marine technicians who demand dependable filtration, the WIX 33247 fits common Volvo Penta and OMC applications and delivers the high-efficiency particle and water separation expected from a professional-grade fuel filter. Built with durable materials and engineered flow paths, this spin-on style replacement simplifies maintenance while helping preserve fuel-injection components, pumps and injectors from premature wear caused by contaminants frequently found in marine fuel systems and aging tanks.

How does the WIX 33247 improve fuel system reliability?

The WIX 33247 traps solid particles and separates water from fuel to reduce the risk of clogged injectors and fuel pump wear. By keeping contaminant levels low, it supports consistent engine performance and reduces the chances of field breakdowns due to fuel-related issues.

• Multi-layer filtration media captures dirt, rust and scale before they reach injectors
• Water-separating features minimize corrosion and microbial growth inside the fuel system
• Robust housing withstands marine vibration and pressure fluctuations

Is this filter easy to replace during routine maintenance?

Yes — the WIX 33247 is designed for straightforward spin-on replacement so routine service is fast and tool-light. Clear installation orientation and durable sealing surfaces simplify changeouts and reduce the risk of fuel leaks when properly installed.

• Spin-on design for hand or wrench-assisted removal and installation
• Durable gasket and sealing surface for reliable leak-free operation
• Fits common mounting arrangements used on Volvo Penta and OMC marine engines

What fuel problems does this WIX filter address on boats?

This filter targets the contaminants most likely to affect marine engines: particulate debris from tanks and lines, rust from aging components, and free water introduced during refueling or condensation. Removing these contaminants helps maintain fuel metering accuracy and reduces corrosion in the fuel system.

• Removes visible and microscopic particles that block fuel passages
• Separates and sheds free water to protect fuel pumps and injectors
• Helps prevent fuel-system corrosion and microbial sludge buildup

How do I confirm the WIX 33247 fits my engine?

Compatibility depends on the exact Volvo Penta or OMC model and year. Use your boat's make, model and engine serial number in the part-finder or cross-reference guide to verify fitment before purchase to ensure correct thread, gasket and clearance dimensions.

• Consult the part-finder input with vehicle/engine details for precise matching
• Check thread size, overall length and gasket style against the existing filter
• Contact your dealer or service technician if any doubt about fitment remains

Who is this for: The WIX 33247 is intended for recreational boatowners, marine service shops and technicians maintaining Volvo Penta and OMC-powered craft who want a professional-grade, easy-to-install replacement filter. It’s suitable for seasonal maintenance and pre-trip inspections when protecting fuel-injection components and preserving reliable performance are priorities. Always verify fitment with your engine details and follow recommended service intervals for safe, trouble-free operation on the water.
