Default Re: Fuel filter replacement

Always drain the separator owls. Always Not just once a year. The separator is there for that in every tank run through it.

Your fuel lines are filled with old gas. So April or November change out the next fuel to enter the fuel water separator is last years fuel in the fuel lines from the tank's pickup tube. So it matters little .

In fact the April startup should be pumping your most stratified ( separated) fuel after settling for 5 or 6 months.

I write the install dates on my Racors so I know when it was changed too, Same as oil filter cartridges. Reminds you every time you look at it. Yea- self nagging. LOL
