Fuel Water Separator
Guys, I'm wanting to add a fuel water separator to my fuel line. Any recommendations? It will be external to the engine in-line between the bulb and the engine.

Re: Fuel Water Separator
Just go with the one your engine manufacturer makes. That way no compatably issues, not that there should be any anyway.

Re: Fuel Water Separator
REB,
What year and make is your motor? Are you sure there is not a factory separator under the cowl already? JackL |

Re: Fuel Water Separator
Jack-it is a 2001 Merc but has only the fuel filter under the cowel.
Got another question-install between the bulb and the engine or the tank and the bulb? |

Re: Fuel Water Separator
I put mine between my tank and the bulb. Like Tom said just make sure you can get to it to change the cartridge.

Re: Fuel Water Separator
REB,
You might go talk to your mechanic and ask if there is a factory fuel filter/water seperator for later model Merc's that could be retro-fitted in place of your current fuel filter. This would simplify the installation, be easy to get to and be available at a Mercury dealers shop. It can't hurt to ask! JackL |

Re: Fuel Water Separator
Thanks, Jack-I got 'er done. Had to improvise a mount for it but I think it will work. Hopefully I'll find out this weekend.
