water separating fuel filters
 
My main inboard fuel injected engine only has the AC Delco fuel filter. The
fuel line to the outboard kicker, however, has a water separating filter in
it. Are outboards more susceptible? Is this the usual arrangement?

Do not know how the EFI engines get the pressure. My boat has the main line
from tank go to the Water Separating fuel filter (sierra) and off the filler
assy the 4 stroke kicker gets a line and the carbed engine comes off the
other output.

If you ac delco filter is a spin on then it will act as a separating filter.
You should take it off and drain it once a year to get the water out. If
you drain it into a glass jar you will see the water at the bottom and you
can pour the gas off the top.

It's not a spin on. It's horizontally mounted near fuel manifold, pressure
side of fuel pump.
