[Public-list] Fuel filter

[Todd Redhead]

Ooops - Thanks George.  Fuel floats on water - of course.  The water can be 
hard to see if there is only a little bit of water in with the fuel in the 
filter.  What I've done is dump it gently a bit at a time into a bucket or 
pail and look for what looks like bubbles which are actually balls of water 
in the fuel.  If there is a lot of water you will get 2 distinct layers - if 
you get no bubbles or layers, like George said, you either have all water or 
all fuel!
