Hey Cat,
Putting this question here cause I figured out others might find it useful.
95 or so pontoon boat, 70hp Evinrude, built in fuel tank. I installed an Attwood 10 micron water separator filter and replaced the fuel line. The old line wasn't bad but I figured with all the horror stories we've been hearing about ethanol, it would be cheap insurance. Well, the question is, the bulb doesn't pump up firm like the old one. Once I got the filter filled with fuel, I can tell I'm pumping, but it never gets firm (I can hear the comments coming on that already) like the old one did.
Boat runs fine, it's getting gas just fine. Not really worried about anything. Just wondering if maybe I should cut out the new bulb and put the old one back?
While I have your attention. What is your opinion on these water separator filters and how often should I replace it. The boat was mostly full of fuel all winter and treated with Stabil. But I figured I would replace it pretty soon after the first tank full because this boat has never had a filter to my knowledge. And I know it was without a fuel cap for part of it's life so there's really no telling what kind of crap is in there. However, I've had it 5 years and never had a problem from it.
Thanks,
<><
TC
