Here is the one I bought. I need to install it this afternoon. Folks speak highly of it here and on other diesel websites.

Not a good idea, trying to compress water is hell on the IP and possibly the injectors as well.

sorry to revive such an old thread but....

my 86 F350 has started to leak air and I'm hoping the separator is the culprit. its all stock / original and only 73k miles. I could in theory place this where the OEM fuel filter is couldnt i and just run this. I bought the FM100 and liek the options etc it has. Id prefer to not [place it on the firewall and if i dont need both fuel filters..... I could just bypass the stock separator.

I should note that it uses push-on filters as opposed to the standard spin on kind.

I'm not out to say that this system is better than a Racor system or even going the route of the 7.3 setup, however, I'm just posting it so you can see that there are different options out there. I've been happy with my system.
