The Volvo Penta Filter 38522249 is a small inline filter used in Volvo Penta marine engine service applications. The Volvo reference is commonly shown as 3852224, with 38522249 used as the SKU / formatted part reference. Volvo parts references identify this item as a filter for the MAP sensor / vacuum line, while marine filter cross-reference catalogs also list it with inline fuel filter equivalents.

Engine Compatibility

Commonly associated with select Volvo Penta / OMC gasoline engine applications, including 5.0L and 5.8L engine setups when matched by original part number and parts diagram. Cross-reference catalogs also associate this filter family with select Mercury, Yamaha, Johnson/Evinrude, OMC, and Volvo Penta applications, but Volvo Penta fitment should be verified by the engine schematic first.

Serial Number Fitment Notice

Filter fitment can vary by engine model, fuel/vacuum-line routing, hose size, and parts diagram location. Always confirm 38522249 / 3852224 against the original part, Volvo Penta engine serial number, and schematic location before ordering.

When This Part Needs Replacement

Replace this filter if it is cracked, contaminated, restricted, brittle, leaking, missing, or being serviced as part of a fuel, vacuum-line, or MAP sensor-related repair. A small inline filter can affect system operation if it becomes blocked or installed in the wrong direction.

Installation Notes

Match the original filter orientation before removal, especially if the filter has a flow-direction arrow. Inspect the surrounding hose, clamps, and fittings during installation. Replace any hardened or fuel-damaged hose at the same time, and confirm the system is secure and leak-free before returning the engine to service.

Parts Desk Insight

This is one of those small filters where the name can be confusing. It may appear in Volvo references as a MAP sensor / vacuum-line filter while also crossing to inline fuel filter part numbers, so the safest match is the original part number, hose size, and schematic location rather than appearance alone.
