"The water separator / filter is mounted slightly above the level of the fuel tank." From post # 1.
Man that reminded me of my air leak issue found here http://www.moyermarine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8205 I believe a small air leak allowed air to collect in the high spot of the system and caused my shutdowns. Dan S/V Marian Claire |

If at all feasible I would consider moving the filter/separator to a location lower than the fuel tank. As mentioned earlier this is not an extra burden you want to impose on the pump if it can be avoided.

Did you use teflon tape on the new hose barb?

Fuel blockage
This may sound odd but I had a similar problem with my engine shutting down unexpectedly. When I installed a new pick-up line in my fuel tank it was too close to the bottom of the tank and when the engine was running the tank contracted and the bottom of the tank was against the pick-up tube blocking any passage. I removed the pick-up line, cut the end on a 45 degree angle and solved that problem. Also could you blow compressed air backwards through the line the dislodge any obstructions?
Hope this helps you, Dave. |
