Will this actually filter out water from a gas tank for an outboard motor?
1742515
No the fluid would simply go through it and the big pieces of whatever would be caught. Not a water absorber, dry gas might be a solution?
1742516
Not likely, only dirt and you can see how the color/condition is of your fuel and filter any dirt before the screen filter in your outboard gets clogged up.
1742517
no it will not.To filter water you need a filter with a sediment bulb where water will go to bottom of glass bulb and allow you drain it. It would not be a fruitful endeavor to do a filter bowl. If you have contaminated fuel you need to address it directly but filtration will not help. This is a great filter though.

Not exactly, but I think it useful for small motors -mine is 25hp. If it is mounted vertically, so the inlet is down and the outlet is up, you will be able to see water collecting at the bottom. The gas passes upwards leaving small amounts of water visible as grayish bubbles. It also enables me to see particulates, even oil mix a bit, and when the primer bulb is not yet doing it's job. It is, therefore, useful as an indicator, which is perhaps better than than many cheap (under $100) and leaky water removal filters. Those filters, such as the "Moeller Clear Site Water Separating Fuel Filter System" work with a sediment bulb -something you could probably make for yourself, as I yet may. How hard can it be?

I don't think so. This filter is mainly to filter out small particles.Filters for removing water are usually larger and more complex.

No, it will not filter water but it is a very good particulate filter.I use this filter just upstream of my water separating filter.

I would have to say no, because this is a powerful filter, it would for sure suck the stones off the bottom of tank. I've never tried it in 18 or so years I've owned these 350 Marinelands...........maybe someone else out there has tried it.

This filter is only the first of at least 4 gasoline filters on a modern fuel injected outboard. Therefore it is set up to filter everything over 10 microns. Usually (Like on my Yamaha) there are three following filter mediums before the gasoline is injected to the cylinder. On my Yamaha, next there is a pleated paper filter with a floating water ring (it floats if there is any water and if you look you can see it floating and then let the water out but that is what the first filter does too) then the low pressure fuel pump moves the gas to the inner tank from where the fuel injectors get their fuel; through a small filtering screen. The high pressure fuel pump them pumps this gasoline (now filtered 3 times so far) to the fuel injector where there is a final ceramic filter. So you see this first filter you are asking about is only the first filter. The short answer is "Yes" it is Okay to use on your 150 hp outboard, in my humble opinion.

Yes, it would, since that is not based on the motor. There is a plug in the bottom of the reservoir. When you fill it, you push it shut. When it is placed on the bowl, there is a piece which makes contact pushing it open. It is simple but effective. What would stop is the water being circulated through the filter.

No this is an extra layer of filter. It will not supply enough oxygen to your tank.

Mine is a 5 gal, 5.0 hp....so I'm not sure if it will. Look back at some of these answers, cuz I am pretty sure I gave somebody exact measurements on the filter awhile back so they could make a good guess.

I have used mine for 50:1 gas oil mix for an outboard motor and no problems yet.

it will filter out most....unless you have a VERY expensive filter (reverse osmosis),etc... you will not get ALL(100%) of flouride out

Use this filter on any outboard...This filter will not restrict any noticeable fuel flow... The flow rate depends on the age/condition of your fuel pump/ length of hose and the quality of fittings...ALWAYS use quality genuine parts...Replace the filter every year...

This filter is good enough by itself. If you already have a yamaha canister (water separator), you don't need another. One is sufficient. If you are talking about the small filter inside the cowling, then yes you need to add this filter. Today's gasoline produces water and a water separator is imperative. Good boating!

Yes it would. I installed it in my tent trailer for the fresh water holding tank.

According to the instructions that came with it you should be able to siphon gas from the tank. However, as of now I have only used the sump for removing oil from the Engine and it works well for this job. I have not as yet tried to siphon gas with it so I can't answer how efficient it is for that purpose.

It is designed for outboard motors only and should not be used with an inboard motor. 1/7", 3/8", and 5/16" O.D. barbs are included with the filter. It makes a great secondary filter.

The tank has a threaded female fitting. Not sure the exact size (could be 3/8"npt). You should be able to easily adapt from the fitting to a hose for your outboard. Various fittings are available such as a quick disconnect.

Yes. This filter will work fine on the pool you describe. I put one on a system with similar specs and it works great!

Im not sure that it will because of the electronics inside and the flow of the water into the filter. But what this doesn't tell you is that the bar is removable and there's a smaller attachment for the filter to flow the water back into the tank. I used it in a 1.5 gallon tank and it worked great. Hope this helps.

This filter has a "lip" that allows the filter to hang over the tank into the water. I hope that answers your question!
