Location: Grand Rapids MN | The spin on filters media absorbs free water and some emulsified water from the fuel. So that is gas in the filter that your seeing/smelling, the water is trapped in the filter media. Filters usually have a water holding capacitry rating (# mL or gr) but there's no way of knowing how much is in your system or when the filter has reached capacity. If you have had water issues in the past then I would change the filter more frequently but if you're doing this just as a precaution measure then seasonal should be ok. Better to remove some than none I guess.
