Thanks to Bryan and Alan. We finally found the info on the website.
Summarized, it stated:
Racor 500 Series Built about 1996 or 1997 and before may need a Spacer
if using the new Racor element 2010 S T or P. This Filter can be
easy identified by the recess at the bottom of the filter.
If not used the filter may go far down into the housing past the hole
in the suction pipe and the filter will be bypassed. Racor Part # 15424
Racor will provide the spacer at no cost - not even a
shipping/handling fee - or you can cut your own from 5/16" i.d. flex
fuel hose, 1 inch in length. Call this number to get your free
spacers: (800-344-3286)
We called this morning and supposedly they are shipping 2 adapters to
us. What do you think the chances are that these will arrive in Isla
Margarita before we move on westward! Construction of our boat
started in Nov 2002 and was finished in Jan 2003, so we should not
need these adapters. But why let them off the hook so easily, so we
ordered the adapters anyway.
