Best water separator

[legalfee]

I just got stranded because of water in my gas and want to put in a water separator. What is the best model to use? Do I still need to keep the plastic filter between the pump and carbs?

Racor 23299-10 Fuel Filter SNAPP Water Separator Just installed one of these on my boat. Liked it because I have limited space in the bilge area and it is very easy to replace. No o-rings to leak and has the drain on the bottom. You just snap it out and replace the whole unit. I removed the clear plastic filter between pump and carbs but thinking about putting it back so I can see the gas going through it for fuel diagnosis. Have had zero problems with this filter.

If you already have a filter head, just swap out the existing fuel filter for a "B32" series spin-on filter.

You will need the clear bottom the first time, but from there on out you replace the filter can only

Probably don’t want to hear this after the fact but……while you have to buy a Mercury or OMC “style” filter head separately, the B32 series filters are sized (threaded) to fit the very popular OEM Mercury (11/16”- 16) and OMC (1”-12) filter heads. Allows you to substitute an OEM filter or equivalent in a pinch.

I’m contrast, the 320R filter head (1”-14) is proprietary. Fits Racor filters only.

The best is usually the most expensive.
I'd buy one with the see through base. It has a drain to get water out.
