Water separator filter on an outboard with a portable gas tank?


I'm sorry, I guess my answer was overly broad. I was thinking about all the
crap people dump in their installed tanks.
The idea that a manufacturer wants to limit the chemicals his fuel system must
endure is still valid.

Also, isn't the gubmint in the form of the EPA involved? Whose problem is it if
a motor fails emissions testing with a tank laced with mouse milk?

99% of the gasoline additives are junk and carburetor cleaner is only good
for killing bugs. They do nothing to remove the varnish, or buildup. Fuel
stabilizer does work, and if you have gasoline and water use anhydrous Ethel
alcohol to remove the water.

My 1996 15 hp Johnson 4-stroke manual says "no gasoline additives". Is the
mfr concerned that some users might not measure correctly for a small fuel
tank, dump in the whole bottle of STP, and screw things up? Or is it
likely
that even a carefully measured amount would cause real harm if used once
or
twice per season?
