I was talking to a friend today on the phone & he told me something that piqued my interest. He works as a mechanic on gasoline & diesel fleet vehicles and lately a lot of the companies are installing large fuel filter/water separators that use a spin-on filter that looks similar to an oil filter in size, but are designed to filter gas down to 2 microns and separate water from the fuel on vehicles using E-10 fuel. The ones they are installing are made by Wix, so the filters should be fairly easy to find & can hold almost a quart of water before needing to be replaced. I would assume it would need a fuel pump ahead of the filter to be useful. He's getting the info for the bases and filters and will get back to me at a later time. My question for the brain trust is would such a filter be useful for GMCs or would something like this be either overkill or simply not work in our application?He said that some of the filters are drainable to remove collected
water, but they have been simply replacing the filters at regular intervals. I can imagine a filter of that size could hold a considerable amount of trash before becoming restricted. I'm also wondering where the best place would be to install one. Anyone think this would be a good/bad idea & why.
