HewesYourDaddy Posted January 14, 2019 Report Share Posted January 14, 2019 I’ve been told this is a good fuel/water separator set up. Anybody have experience with this one? It’s has the primer pump built into the housing so you can eliminate your primer bulb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanaflatsfish Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 I use it and it works well...not that model...and I have a stainless mount...I think mine is S3116?

THE OUTLAW Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 Be careful ! If you rideout hard , I have had the plastic bowl , on the bottom strip out and leave you trying to figure out why your motor stopped . Got rid of that style and went straight stainless top and racor filter bottom . IMHO 🇺🇸☠️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bamaskeet Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 I suggest you buy a stainless head not powder coated. And remember the USCG doesn't approve a plastic bowl mounted below decks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO 🇺🇸☠️ had the same issue on my last boat. didnt happen till i changed the filter and tried tobuse the original bowl (new filter didnt come with one). Drove me nuts and happened just often enough to make me think I had fixed it . . . only to have a bilge full of fuel again a few months later.
