Because of poor fuel storage I had to help a friend get his 2120 Ford tractor running because of water in his fuel.
To prevent future problems I built him a filter system with a 10 micron particulate filter and a Goldenrod water block to prevent future troubles.
That prompted me to upgrade my own system that currently only had a 10 micron filter installed.
I bought a Goldenrod water block filter set and a 2 micron filter for a spare filter head I had on a shelf.
My fuel now flows thru a 10 micron filter, water block then a 2 micron final filter.
I've never had any problems with my fuel which is stored inside but now I have additional insurance.
How do you filter your fuel?

Good idea. The 2 micron might give you some issues in extreme cold weather, but when things work right, your setup should prevent any problems.

I use an old fuel funnel with a brass screen in it. No problems so far but I know what you are doing is by far better. Ed
