[QUOTE="TownsendsFJR1300, post: 1231019, member: 1003"] Here's a result of water in a fuel tank (which rusted the inside of the tank)sucked into the fuel pump filter. This particular pump is a single line(no return for an FZ6, the R6's, R1, etc have a return line but you get the idea.. To my knowledge, the FJR pump is very similar. BTW, that filter is NOT replaceable. What I use in the boat (large fuel tank) is K100;[B] [URL="https://k-100.com/?page_id=74"]https://k-100.com/?page_id=74[/URL] [/B] It does NOT remove the water but suspends it so it can be burned off as the engine burns fuel. On my outboard engine, a Yamaha F150, an inline 4 cylinder, FI'ed, it has basically a carb (a VST) with the HP fuel pump in it. This VST can be drained. After using K100 and NON-Ethonol fuel for awhile, the visable moisture eventually went away, fuel NOT cloudy. In the approx 9 years I've been using it, no issues with water, no corrosion to the original, 18 year old fuel tank...
