fuel filter

Post by barra mick » Sun Aug 27, 2017 3:21 pm

Here is the fuel filter I use before I put fuel in the boat.

At the start I just bought it for when im getting fuel out off 44 drums on aboriginal land in the nt that I get dropped off in advance.

But now I use it all the time.

Cheers bm

Kool
I used to work in the Territory maintaining bug smasher aircraft.
Had to refuel heaps from 44 gal drums.
After refueling we pushed them over so the water wouldn't fill the top of the drum and expansion and contraction sucks water in.

yes thats how

you put your fuel into this bucket and it catches any excess water before it goes into your fuel tank.

its only takes a few extra mins..but worth it.

yeah but how does it catch the excess water,
does it just sit on the bottom of the bucket.
