[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 775485, member: 7509"] I use a Baldwin filter on the outlet of my diesel pump. This filter has a small drain screw on the bottom. Once in awhile I loosen screw and drain some fuel and/or water from the bottom into a glass jar and discard if I see any water in it. Retighten screw. Done. The supposed water catching filters give up filter area for water catching/holding area. I would rather have the filter area in a filter. The function of a filter is to act as a filter, not a water trap. My tractor has a separate water bowl and separate inlet filter. Having a 10 micron filter on the transfer pump outlet mostly helps keep the 3-5 micron engine filter working longer since the pump filter catches most of the larger particles. Fine filters such as a 10 micron should ALWAYS be on the outlet/pressure side of a pump never on the inlet side or they may cause inlet restriction and cavitate the pump which is not good. Only think which should be on the inlet side of that type of pump is a screen to keep out the nuts and bolts. jmho. Jim [/QUOTE]
