[QUOTE="Kismet, post: 331055, member: 8516"] After finding water in carbs on two motors, I went in search of a filtration system for those of us who have small engines and use gas cans, rather than fuel cells with on-line systems. Biggest problem was using the right terms for the search engines. Just ordered "Mr. Funnel" from Amazon, but the same series of water-separator funnel-type filters are available under other vendor's names. My biggest engine is just a 10hp which shares a gas tank and hose with the 5.5. My others, three 3hp Evinrudes sip from other tanks. Putting an in-line filtration system or a filter inside the old Johnson was impractical, and since I don't have vast volumes of fuel to keep, I got the 2.5 gal per minute funnel filter @ $21 shipped. They have larger, and other filters. There's an unproven, but pervasive rumor that the local Co-op gas station, which has a Non-ethanol pump, may have a water issue in its unground tank. Small precaution to prevent recurrent problem. [/QUOTE]
