I want to change my Fuel/water seperator myself this year on my 2008 150 optimax. Can someone give my an idea on how to do it? Thanks,
Steve

Disconnect the water in fuel sensor wire from the bottom of the filter.
Unscrew the filter (counterclockwise, as viewed from BELOW the filter), and pour the contents into a glass jar for inspection.
New filter is Part# 18458T4 (or 18458Q4). Lubricate seal of new filter with 2-4-C Grease, OR vaseline (MUST be a fuel-soluable grease). Be sure you install the new sensor into the filter BEFORE installing filter.
Install filter until seal contacts, then turn 1/2 turn CLOCKWISE (tighter).
Reinstall water in fuel sensor wire.
Pump primer bulb until firm.
This is a SMALL PORTION of your annual maintenance. See the following post:
