[QUOTE="tristan, post: 3678, member: 30"] just an update on this. i pulled the fuel system to bits and re routed it. so now the fuel flow goes from tank, to primer bulb, to stock pre-filter, to pump, to main filter, to injection pump. that little addon petrol filter they claim is "stock" is now in the bin. didn't need any extra hose, in fact had some left over. so now the pre filter water trap does what its meant to do. the primer is there to help prime it should you have to empty/clean it. however one issue is the primer becomes a water trap (major issue) or an air trap (not a big issue) depending on how it sits. so i have it horizontal facing back. so if you go up a hill (like onto a trailer) any water will go down and out, and into the pre filter. one thing i havn't done is change the bleed screw to a tool less setup. at the moment you still need a screw driver to undo it. i may cut a slot in it so it can be opened with a hive tool. the pre filter is the only filter that you can get access to without needing screw drivers to get panels off. also you can get it apart to clean it without special tools. ie now its the one thats going to block up if there is crap in the fuel and its the one you can actually service in the field. the electric fuel pump actually sucks pretty well. so if you have issues priming (as the primer bulb is up top where you can actually get to it), just turn the ignition on and run the pump as well as use the primer bulb.
