[QUOTE="tytower, post: 775283, member: 2399"] If this were me I would have it set up so the fuel tank has a bottom drain pipe into a large clear bowl so if you have any water it will appear there first because oil floats on water. Drain a pint or so before each use and if clear pour it back into one of your tanks ,fixed or tractor. If water is present you will see it come into the bowl and can continue draining until clear. The bottom of the pipe through which fuel is drawn to the pump should have a u-bend at the bottom about 2¨ high. If you need the last 2 inches you can drain the tank as previous. I would put the filter on the line just after the pump. Fuel is pushed through rather than sucked (technically its always pushed by air pressure entering the top of the tank so its much of a muchness to me .) I´d like to know what others think about this and why. [/QUOTE]
