I have a Yamaha 2 stroke outboard, which requires premixing fuel and oil, is this filter appropriate? Or will it separate the oil along with the water?

Once the fuel and oil are mixed they are together until burned. This filter uses gravity to separate the water (much heavier) so the filter will filter particles out of the gas stream and then let the heavier water settle to the bottom where you can then drain it before it becomes a problem... If there is any water settled out you will be able to see it long before it re-enters the gasoline stream to the engine (which has three more filters to go through if you have Fuel injection.) before it enters the combustion chamber.

It works fine with fuel for two stroke engines. I installed one on my boat with a two stroke merc outboard, and it works great!

From what I have been told by all lot of people it will not separate the oil from the gas I got this for a 2 stroke outboard allso

If the filter is new it is ready to go out of the box. You shouldn't need to add any oil until you clean the filter.

I'm using 30 weight oil. The unit is NOT a 2 stroke engine that burns a mix of oil and gas. The oil is for lubrication only.

Use this filter on any outboard...This filter will not restrict any noticeable fuel flow... The flow rate depends on the age/condition of your fuel pump/ length of hose and the quality of fittings...ALWAYS use quality genuine parts...Replace the filter every year...

If using synthetic two stroke oil that is appropriate. I would recommend regular oil for break in at a 32:1 ratio for break in( about a half gallon of gas burned) to make sure the rings seat properly. Mine is a real gem and am very happy with its performance.

Better yet. Do not mix your own fuel and buy some Tru-Fuel Synthetic. Best fuel for 2 strokes !

I use a water filter at least. But my contractor friend said you don't need the lubricator if you just put a few drops of oil in from the line in every few uses or after a long session.

I have had it in a 2010 Yamaha 650 for some time now. I have had zero problems and it should fine for your application. That said, the dealer recommendedI should break the engine in with conventional motor oil.

I have no idea I've only used it with racing fuel that had water in it. Oil is lighter than water so my guess would be yes, but I cannot say for sure. The manufacturer has a web site you could contact them and ask.

Yes, it is needed to buy engine oil before you can run the machine. I used 5W-30 engine oil.

I really can't answer for certain. How old is your engine (years & miles).It is a fact that new engines dirty the oil much more slowly than older engines. I suppose it's possible the filter is faulty or improperly fitted. You might try another brand to see if it performs any better which I strongly doubt.

Michael,The filter had a VERY light film of oil, which I consider insufficient for my use. Otherwise a good filter I would recommend it to others for the price. Good Luck

this separates water from the fuel... I have used it on my 2 cycle 85 Hp Johnson engine for several years now

According to europaparts.com this filter is also used in the TT with the 3.2 L petrol engine. So you should be good to buy one of these for your car.

I did not see your filter in a cross reference search. Google "oil filter cross reference" and you should find some sights that will give you the filter you need if you want to stick with B&S. It will also give you a lot more choices of other brand filters that will also fit your application.

No. Our boat runs on oil mixed with gas and that mixture MUST go right through. But it does separate water from the mixture as advertised.

I have done it both ways.....w/ oil and w/o......i think that it would be helpful if you are using in an area w/ lots of dust to help capture more of the particles, but, have found its not a issue since i change the filter and oil regularly.
