It's not his boat!!

It is, too!! It is, too!!

You're really an idiot, Karen Elizabeth Smith.




Always the same mostly in your winter so he has less chance of being
caught.

Are your synapses misfiring again, Karen Elizabeth Smith?


I mean after all the BS posting this boat has rarely left the
shed, why??

Methinks you've spent too much time in the shed, inhaling alcohol vapors.


because the real owner didn't take it nor Harry out. We all
know for a fact Harry isn't busy because he posts left wing political
crap here 24/7.

Ahh, I'm so glad my politics annoy you. It makes it all worthwhile.

Got a college degree, Karen?
Got a job?
Got anything published?

You're a poseur, Karen Elizabeth Smith. You couldn't get a job polishing
trailer hitch balls.

Who said "no filter"
BTW on a EFI "lean mixture" means "pump in a little more fuel". That's
what the
oxygen sensor does.


Real men drink the water their fuel filters separate out...

Thanks. She's been a lot of fun this past season. I'd like to install a
small radar set next spring, so I can do some night fishing, and a
couple of other goodies to make life aboard a bit more pleasant.

It's not his boat!! This is standard lies for him to try & self serve
his lies, he's done the same thing over & over including the 43 "Hatt"
the seapro, the 36ft Lobster boat (till they wised up & got rid of him
hanging around) & now his latest BS lie the Parker (won't take long
before the real owner gets rid of him also)..

out in the lobster boat" The man is sick & dangerous beyond help.

Harry's lie of the day??

This mix of factory pics & pics of somebody else's boat.

Oil filter vs fuel filter?

It occurred to me the other day as I was shelling out almost $30 for a spin on
fuel filter that this thing looks suspiciously like a $2.99 oil filter. Other
than the threading on the base, what is the difference?

The difference is in the porosity & pressure differential. The fuel filter is
designed to let a thinner (less viscous) fluid flow at a higher rate while
trapping smaller particles.

If you can't afford new fuel filters fairly often, you really can't afford a boat.
They're not that expensive and they prevent a lot of much more expenive repair.



You cut one open and
they certainly look like the same stuff inside.

Usually the Mark 1 eyeball is not calibrated for discriminating 5 micron 90gpm
filter elements from 30 micron 10gpm filter elements. YMMV


It also has nothing to do with
the can itself since Perko fuel filter are made from mild steel that rusts up
very quickly if you don't paint them. I prime and paint mine before I install
them and still don't get a year out of one before it starts bleeding rust from
somewhere.

If you're using a fuel filter for more than a year, you're destroying your engine
anyway.

Ease up, Sir. You didn't say what the filter was for and I assumed we were
about a talking a diesel. The same reasoning, however, applies to gas,
although the numbers are much lower. You also didn't say that it was one of
three in line.

For a gas boat used in the developed world, I'd probably throw away one,
maybe two of the filters and use a piece of hose. A car uses only one gas
filter, after all...

Particle size and pressure are different. You want to spend a thousand
bucks to rebuild a diesel fuel injection pump -- save $25 on your fuel
filters and you'll have a good shot at it.

Why would I buy a thousand dollar rebuilt diesel injection pump for an
outboard
that wasn't even required to have a fuel filter. This is one of 3 filters
in my
system. It is just there to stop dead bugs and trap some water I might
pick up.

Good point, perhaps the other gloom and doom posters should pay attention to
that.
The filter in question is mostly for water separation, I also have a glass
inline, mostly to be able to monitor fuel flow and the final filter in
integrated in the engine.

If it's a gas filter and you're in the states just pour out the contents
into a clear glass jar at the end of the year. The water will settle to the
bottom and you can pour off the gas. Reuse the filter. I'm on the same
filter 3 years later.

Perhaps, but I have yet to see any water or grit or anything at the shiny
bottom of my spin-on filter. I always get my gas at a roadside gas station.
Are there some unseen small particles possibly clogging up the filter, or do
you suggest changing it just "because".

If the filter still looks new, inside and out, how is it going to destroy
your engine?
