Re: Is an extra fuel filter good idea?
Yes.<br />The best ones, are those inline glass filters with interchangeable elements,that can be purcased anywhere, including Walmart.<br />They are cheap, and your survival kit can include a spare element (mine does).<br />These little filters aren't restrictive at all, and I have one on my 7.5P Merc, with no ill effects. Just insure you get a good seal at the fittings, which is the hardest part.<br />and steer-clear of the REAL cheap ones, as they have nylon fittings. Yuo can use them, but don't use the fittings that comes in the box---Get brass fittings (available at all auto partz stores.
