I don't run any sort of inline filter, but if you are having trouble,
due to rust or bad gas, I would suggest that 19 micron is pretty
coarse as your defense. I would have a 10 as my coarse filter and a 2
micron filter between that and the engine.


The filter is good advice. * We were having problems with our 4 stroke
Honda dinghy engine until I added an external filter. * Since adding
the filter, no problems. * When I dump out the filter after changing
the element, there is always a fair amount of crud and water.


QUESTION / SURVEY (NOT AN ADVERTISEMENT)
I work at a major marine supplies retailer, and we are featuring
"Star-Tron" fuel additive. It claims to resolve ethanol problems as
well as "old" gas. The deisel version claims to reduce biological
growth in the tank. As we are serious boaters, I want to be as honest
and helpful as possible. When I point out the product, many customers
tell me they use and like it. Other staff boaters tell me the same. I
am interested in your input on this product, good or bad. Please let
me know if you use the gas or deisel form, and how long you have used
it. Have you noticed a difference? Good or bad? any anecdotes are
welcome.

Fair winds and good gas,
