YAMAHA WATER FUEL SEPARATOR

[1TOON3]

WHEN UNSCREWING THE THE YAMAHA SEPARATOR FROM THE HOUSING, WHAT KEEPS THE FUEL FROM SPILLING OUT OF THE HOSES CONNECTED TO THE FILTER HOUSING? IS THERE A FUEL SHUT OFF? WHEN I WATCHED THE YOUTUBE DEMO IT LOOKED LIKE HE JUST UNSCREWED IT AND REPLACED IT WITHOUT ANY EXTRA STEPS.

Which filter are you referring to, engine mounted or remote ?

It is mounted under the deck mounted fuel tank in the transom area. 2012 2274 GL with a Yamaha 115 4 stroke.

If you have vice grips, just put a rag on the hoses and squeeze just evough to stop fuel flow. Don't squeeze to kill. Make sure you use a pan to catch the fuel (it will spill).

That's why I collect rags all year long. They'll keep it clean. How often are you going to change your filter? They're pretty expensive--pushing $30 in cost.

My filter is up high and above the fuel tank, so when I change the filter, just unscrew it, replace the filter and screw it back on. No clamps or hose kinks necessar. No venting and no problem when starting up after filter removal. Another perfect for Bennington.
