[QUOTE="el_cheapo, post: 500103, member: 20910"] I have a 1980, 85 HP johnson outboard, didn't get out much last year and at the start of this season had trouble with bad gas, everything's good now. I've started using Marine Stabil which claims to treat ethanol, I can't see that there's any filter in the cowl of this motor (other than really coarse built into the fuel pump). Due to my splash wells design I don't really have a great place to mount one, a 12 gallon tank just kind of wedges under there and the battery sticks out some as well. I suppose it's went 43 years with no filter maybe there's not an urgent need to add one now. If I could find one compact enough I may be able to mount it directly to the inside of my transom which would be nice I don't want to be snagging line on it inside the boat. [/QUOTE]
