Water separator filter

[CIVANO]

May not be of interest to you guys but my gas/water separator filter is in a dark area near the bilge in the dark and I can not easily tell if there is water held in the clear reservoir. I found that some plastics sink in gas but float in water. I searched for different plastics around the shop and found tha a small piece of an old black discarded cutting board did just that. I am going to remove the bowl and add this little piece and will have a clear indicator of water in the bowl.

Or you could skip the clear bowl worry focus and just change a cartridge filter every season.

Most of the time changing the cartridge every year is fine except if your are getting a lot of water in your tank as we had happen in my buddies boat off Bajo reef. We were in pretty rough seas and water was getting in his filler in the stern and we had to shut down in the **** to change the canister which soon filled up again with water. He now has the clear bowl so we can see the water and drain it off with the engine running before it gets to the engine.
