Fuel Filter
Is it possible to put two fuel filters in series on one line? I want
to do this because I am afraid there is a lot of debris in my gas tank
and I figured it might allow me to change out the first filter out on
the water? |

| Doug, if the first filter is responsible for both large and small |

| Nope. If the amount of gunk in the fuel is the same, then |

| Better to put them in parallel with shut off valves on each side. Run one at
a time. When the first one is clogged, close the shut off valves for it and
open the valves for the other one. Common arrangement on many diesel powered boats. RCE |

glass ones you can see fuel flowing in and the stock filter in the
engine. no problem. |

| A good idea and it'd be best to start with a coarser filter and put a
finer filter in the second unit. They'll do a better job by exposing
more filter surface to trap different sized particles and thereby help
ensure the first filter doesn't get clogged by smaller particles. jps |
