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.
