In any case, the Racor filters are the way to go. They have a clear bowl at the bottom that will allow you to drain any water from the filter and extend its life. These are made for marine use and won't remove any oil in the process since they are made for that. They will also screw on to a conventional filter fitting. Just make sure you have a little extra room underneath for the bowl and to access it for drainage. I always wondered how people would know when the other filters were full of water and needed changing.

I told a friend that I was going to get a bunch of larger universal fuel filters and just throw them away until I get all the trash out of the fuel tank. The guy said not to use paper filters because it filters the oil out of the gas. Is that true? Has anyone else heard of that? Thanks Gary Which of those do you use, Dan? |
