[QUOTE="jethro, post: 500148, member: 12381"] My Sylvan has a 40 gallon, in-floor gas tank, I use it in the ocean quite a bit and in all conditions and I have never seen a need for a fuel/water separator. If my boat lived on a dock or a mooring I would likely install one, but for a trailer boat they really aren't necessary if you follow good practices. I use the best fuel I can buy (premium and when possible, non-ethanol) and I always use Startron in every tank of fuel. I've never had a problem with gummed up carbs or fuel lines or poor running conditions and I don't believe I've ever had water in my fuel. Don't buy fuel at questionable places and don't buy super premium where those tanks may not get emptied much. [/QUOTE]
