would an oil filter work as a separator ??

like i said -- i checked the number on the filter -- it comes back as an oil filter


or better yet -- what should i use as a separator ??

i don't have an inline fuel filter -- it goes straight from this "separator" to the fuel pump -- through a pressure regulator -- right into the carb

perhaps i should install an inline fuel filter ??

There is a different part number for the separator, but I don't know how the construction differs from the oil filter.

I have always bought one model number for oil, and one for the water fuel separator.

You might have a really small inline fuel filter after the pump and before the carb. Mine hides in a fitting that doesn't look much bigger than it would be if it was just to connect the line.

But, I don't know what kind/size power you run, so maybe my info doesn't apply.

i'll go take some pic's

i wanna make sure i get this right the first time


back shortly!!!

well -- it is a separator -- but i don't have a fuel filter


would the separator cause this problem ???

Happened to me and I was just out of gas,would idle for a while but would die when on plane.The problem was that the pickup is a little off of the bottom.Actually I have a twin engine setup with two pickups for fuel.One would die before the other,It turned out to be because it was a little higher off the bottom of the tank than the other.

so is it worth it -- to replace the separator ??

common for the sender to be bad and you're actually out of gas. Seen it happen. Was out of gas while reading 1/4 tank
