I decided to change out all the filters myself this year and did the two Universal engine mount filters (oil and fuel) on my E32-III M25 without a hitch. A couple of weeks later I got replaced the primary filter in the Fram fuel/water separator cartridge canister. The guy at CC Marine here in Marina Del Rey stated that the computer says the Wix 33110 and the Fram C1110PL are the same thing. And since he did not carry the Fram I bought the Wix and installed it. After bleeding the air, the engine ran in the slip fine for about 20 minutes. But yesterday with the wife and 2 year old, the engine died as we were motoring out. It sounded like the engine wasn't getting fuel and we had an interesting time sailing back into the slip (made me appreciate my love of sailboats over motorboats!). The Wix and Fram do not look the same (see pix) so I'm not convinced they are interchangeable. Has anyone else used both in the same cartridge canister?
