Default Fuel Filter

Yes, I guess I am missing the point. Sorry. I just wasn't sure why you
were worried about the possibility of having, whatever fuel you were
discussing sloshing around the bottom of your boat. I guess I just didn't
see why this would happen by draining impurities and water off of a filter.
Please pardon my ignorance.

Glenn.

I still don't understand...why should one have Petrol sloshing around

the
bottom of one's boat? Do you simply drain water and impurities into

your
bilge sir?


This thread is not about gasoline engines.

Gasoline is a petroleum-derived liquid mixture consisting primarily of
hydrocarbons, used as fuel in internal combustion engines.

Many Commonwealth countries use the term petrol (abbreviated from

petroleum
spirit), or more rarely, motor spirit. The term gasoline is commonly used

in
North America, and within the oil industry generally, even within

companies
that are not American.

But this thread is about filters on diesel engines, not gasoline engines.
Diesel engines don't use "petrol."

I take it from your repeated refusal to answer my question that you're
unwilling to face up to the fact that you totally missed the boat in

running
your mouth off on the "petrol" tangent.
