duke2555 Posted 5 hours ago Report Share Posted 5 hours ago Been reading a bit about fuel/water separators...anyone using one on their fishing boat/outboard motor? Are they worth the investment? Do they help with ethanol in gas nowadays? I have a 40hp 4 stroke Merc (looking to replace with a 60hp 4 stroke Merc), any suggestions for a fuel/water separator?

BillM Posted 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago Been running one every since I picked up my Lund Pro Sport years ago. Replace the filter every year or so, cheap insurance. I've got my main and kicker hooked up to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aplumma Posted 28 minutes ago Report Share Posted 28 minutes ago The short answer is yes they are worth it. They become even more valuable if you moor the boat in the water for an extended time. The fuel as it heats up and cools causes moisture to condense inside of the fuel cell. I have a 70-gallon aluminum fuel cell on a boat that is moored in the water and the water separator gets emptied every 2 months regardless of run time. The bassboat at the house gets emptied once a season not moored both had some water. I also use sta bil 360 in all of my gas. So far I have not had any fuel issues on the boats.
