In preparation for my end-August Ucluelet assault, today I stayed off the water and instead, changed out my high and low pressure fuel filters on my Honda BF150.
While I was at it, I changed out both T-stats and cleaned out the water/fuel separator. Lordy---it looked like the floor of a birdcage in the separator bowl!
So I cleaned out the gunk, wiped the bowl clean, reinstalled ,fired her up and let her run for 5 minutes to make sure there were no fuel leaks and just as I started to pat myself on the back for a job well done, there at my feet lay a part I forgot to put in the separator bowl.
So I pull it all apart, pull the separator bowl back off and WTF, it looks like the floor of a birdcage again!
So I guess I have to draw the conclusion (or ask the question) how did that stuff get past a 10 Micron fuel filter?????
