What's the consensus on eliminating the filter that is in the fuel pump on older 120/140 Mercruisers. I have a spin-on water separating filter as well as the little filter in the carb, when I asked the local marine service outlet they said to get rid of it as it's not needed??

Ayuh,..... While it ain't Necessary,.....

I fail to see the plus side of not puttin' a fresh one in,....
They're pretty cheap extra insurance, just like the one in the carb,....

I Completely agree, that addin' the canister style is a Huge plus, as it will catch water,.....
