Fuel Filter 785

[goBENGALS]

I am still in the process of putting the motor and everything back into the boat and I came across the fuel filter(white pill bottle thing). I removed it from the line but I cant figure out how to open it( i read a post about cleaning them out???).

Also I have fuel and i believe winterizer in the gas tank which is about .25-.5 full. Any suggestions on how to remove it without taking the whole tank out?

Pill bottle looking, with a nipple at both ends? Replace it, they are non servicable.

You can use a syphon hose and get 90% of it out.

You're thinking of the fuel/water seperator most likely.

Thanks for the help. I was thinking of the water/fuel seperator!!!

Can I get a fuel filter somewhere local or is it another thing I have to order.

To empty it completely though???????? maybe the good ol' wet vac!!

When I clean the water/fuel seperator, should I clean everything out with water? air compressor?

Just found my stock sponsons and I need a few of the rubber washers on the hull side. Anyone know if these can be found local. if not I'm adding to my order.
