I'm mainly interested in my tractor for cutting grass concerning this, but I guess it would also apply to any fuel filter.
I have and dearly love my gravely tractor it is over 30 years old and never had to replace a single part on it except for tires, batteries, and blades. I was going to order some fuel filters from china but did a search on small engine filters and came upon an article by Brigs and Straighten air filters that listed fuel filters saying compatible with Ethanol or not. They listed some filters saying this.
This sounds nuts to me so I was wondering if anyone had ever had any problems with fuel filters and Ethanol/gas, E10 in my area.
This just doesn't make any sense to me, what would make a small engine have a problem with a paper element filter? In China you can get 10 for about $4.00 at Home Depot they wanted $7.?? for one that looks practically the same as the Chinese one!
Forgot to say, they also B&S said whether a filter was used with a fuel pump or not, why would that be a concern?
