Fuel filters can be prone to the heat from a fire and impact damage. Failure of a
fuel filter can lead to additional fuel being added to any fire. You must only use
appropriate fire resistant and impact resistant fuel filters designed for marine
use. Clear bowl, glass or plastic filters meeting these criteria are acceptable, as
long as they are designed for use with the fuel-type. Alternatively fuel filters
marked with ISO 10088 are also acceptable. [2.16]
