probably a dumb question but how can you tell if water is in there? I have a yamaha fuel water seperator for a 50HP yamaha. I change it once a year and ever time i take it off it smells full of gasoline not water.
The media in the filter will stop it, but there'll still be a "slug" of water in the bottom. Racor filters have a plastic bottom to them with a poppit valve where you can see and drain the slug. When I change my Yamaha filters, I drain them into a bottle or glass and let them sit for a bit and you'll see the slug coagulate on the bottom. It's good to analyze your fuel and make sure it's good...color, sediment, amount of water, etc. If there's water in it, let it settle and you'll see it. |
