if you get water in the tank will the filter stop the engine or will it allow water by pass and fill system with water?

I believe the filter allows the water to separate and stay in the filter. There is a fitting at the bottom of the bowel allowing the water and contaminants to be drained off. A must have filtration system for boats

Unlike the standard water 'separating' filters that absorb water until they plug up, these actually separate the fuel and water. The fuel passes through and any water collects in the bowl and must be drained off.

The Racor is a great water separating fuel filter. Its simple to drain the water from the bowl, just dont dump it overboard into a waterway. Collect it in a container and dispose of it appropriately before you are underway.

well......this is a fuel water separator, which separates the water from the fuel, leaving the water in the bowl on the bottom. no your water should not bypass into the engine, unless it is past time for service because its full of water. should be able to empty the water from the bowl by petcock or removal of bowl completely for cleaning. I have resold this several times for small to midsize engines, but the davco units are what I prefer for large truck engines.....but this is a great unit for gasoline units.

You have to drain the water out of the bottom by unscrewing the nozzle. If the filter is not drained and you have water it will overflow and water will get in engine. I like these because they are easy to drain.

I like these because they are easy to drain. Gas should not have much water in tank so is drain mine every 2-3 tanks of gas and I have 200 gallon gas tank.

No. The water shuts off when there is enough in the tank. It only refills when needed.

They are talking about in-line filters. And yes you should use a filter in front of the intake.

Yes. After filling the tank and inserting it into the base, water will fill the base.

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.

The tank is the filter the water runs through. The water flows at the same volume the entire time it is turned on. Love this product. Been using it for about 3 month and have not complaints or issues.

This filter didn't work out for me. Mine started making noises too. It then stopped working all together. I've replaced it with the Tetra whisper power filter. We have three tanks all using this filter and have had no problems.

No, it will not filter water but it is a very good particulate filter.I use this filter just upstream of my water separating filter.

Depends on your water unit. Mine automatically stops after a number of gallons have passed through the system.

The after-market reservoirs do not have filters in them. It was figured out that the filter was not necessary and caused more problems then it was worth. Keep in mind, however, that there is NO WAY to bypass this setup. This reservoir is absolutely needed as your fuel system will not operate properly without it.

Not really it's going to fill with water between the filter and the casing..

This filter has a "lip" that allows the filter to hang over the tank into the water. I hope that answers your question!

As long as your using hoses with clamps- the flow rate would drop enough if you just added an in-line fuel filter.

Check the size of the fuel line. If it fits the line it should provide sufficient fuel flow. I ad a cutoff valve on the line above the filter and run the gas off the filter and carb.

Never had any issues with the lighting burned out and the filter isn't as great as a 3 stage filter. This one is a simple solution to filtering the tank but does cycle the water well. The biggest issue is actually how fast the water runs out due to evaporation; which can cause the filter not to reach water. I had to refill the water twice a day.

Hi Shawn,Yes. If water gets in to fuel you just run the mixture through the funnel. What comes out (into a suitable, dry container) will be fuel. Any water that was in the fuel will remain in the funnel. Just dump that into a container for proper disposal, wipe the funnel dry and you're done. You've given your gasoline new life! Janette

I don't understand the question, the dispensing faucet has a stop valve to stop water running even if the system is empty when changing the filter, once the faucet is open for water to fill the filter and run the water out, it will be fine, don't know if this helps or answer the question.
