Water separator--Honda

[granpafish]

I have a bf50 but I don't think that size or even make of motor matters for this question. I'm sure that a water filter placed on the fuel line would almost always be a good idea. With a small boat (like mine) there really is no place to mount a (racor type) filter. Is there a unit made that can be used on a small boat and doesn't have to be mounted? Is it necessary to even have one? Is it a resonable idea to run a fuel additive like STP gas treatment through a tank full of gas every so often? I have not had a water problem, just trying to avoid having one. Thanks Granpa

Any in-line outboard fuel filter will work. They do not take up much space ( 3 inches long and an inch in diameter), some of them are disposable and you throw them away at the end of the year, this type of filter cost around $3.00 they also make another type where you can just replace the filter element. that cost 8 dollars. I would not use a water filter to do a fuel filters job.<br /><br />here is a pic of a disposable one.

<br /><br />and now a non disposable one.<br />
