Hello, after been away for a few years am going to start all my projects again. With all the junk in the fuel tanks and the gas nowadays I was wondering if I could place a gas water separator like the one use on boats. I took down both tanks and clean them but I still have a little junk here and there. Wonder what u guys think. Thank u in advance

I don't think its necessary. Dry the tanks as best ya can. All the crap in the fuels these days helps it burn hotter and faster, cleaner. I would recommend 2 inline filters. One close to the tank and one close to the carb.

I've only seen them on diesels. My cummins has one. Doesn't seem needed as no gas motors incorporate them on a fuel system.
