my boat sits out all of the time so i get water in my tanks. thought i would try one last year and i really like it. i have not had water problems since installed. well worth the money. when i got mine they didn't have the one with a drain in the bottom. now they do. would get it instead of the solid filter like i have, Sports authority. hope this will help a little. any questions p.m. me

Water seperator

With the amount of ethanol going into todays fuels and the difficulty of finding pure gas, a water seperator is a must. Ethenol is a alcohol based additive, alcohol colllects moisture, so if you do the math you can see where it is so important to have a seperator.

Thanks guys. On my line to motor, do I just cut bulb line and splice inline?

Yes. Make the cut between your tank and the bulb.

Pastor, even your local Wal Mart is likely to carry them in their boating/fishing section. They are stocked here in Athens Al, anyway.

Thanks, Gut Shot, and slabsntaters; I check the next time I go to Walmart. I'm like tommuboyrn; I have a 1998 Mercury and have had no trouble as of yet, but I don't want any trouble either. If a separator will help I'll get me one.
