Best Fuel/Water Separator for My Boat

[vb3391]

Hello everyone. This will be my first post in this forum so I'd like to say Hello. I have a question and I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I recently purchased my first boat, a 1997 ProGator 170v with a Force 120. The boat is in good shape and I like fishing out of it. A friend asked me yesterday if I had a fuel/water separator. I, of course, knew I did not nor had given it any thought. After reading an article in a fishing magazine about a possible increase in the amount of ethanol in gas, I thought it would be a good investment (cheapier than a new motor/rebuild). Can anyone recommend a reliable fuel/water separator kit to install? I have NO idea about these things. I did try reading other posts and several mentioned Racor. I tried researching Racor and their catalog didn't really tell me what I needed. Thanks in advance to any assistance.

Walmart has a fuel/water seperator for $27 which should be sufficient for a motor with carbs. Probably one of the better? and more expensive 10 micron or 2 micron models from Yamaha, Racor or Mallory would be best for a fuel injected motor with all the pumps and filters on them. I have the Walmart one on my 1999 Yamaha 90HP 2 stroke with carbs and it works like charm. I believe these water/fuel seperators will always pay for themselves in the long run. Good Luck
