GASOLINElWATER
SEPARATOR
AND
FILTER
A primary
fuel
filter of the water separating type must be
installed between the fuel tank
and
the
engine
to
remove
water
and
other contaminants
from
the
fuel
before they
can
be carried
to
the
fuel
system
on
the
engine.
Most installers include a type of filter/water separator
with
the generator installation package
as
they
are well aware of
the problems that contaminants in
the
fuel
can cause. .
These gasoline filters must have
metal bowls (not "see-
through")
to
meet U.s. Coast Guard requirements. The metal
bowls
have
drain valves
to
use
when
checking for water
and
impurities.
