I dont have that band one but I do have the Fuel watch version of it fitted.
Can't say how good it is since it hasnt picked anything up yet, BUT in saying that i havent had water in the system. * knocks on wood *.

one of my Cruisers years ago had similar, was great for making sure fuel was not contaminated

depends on where your getting your fuel from I suppose............

So a peace of mind accessory that will do more good than harm.

@ Bigcol would you mount it post or pre OE filter, or just where you can find room

on my 60 series, I had it was mounted post OE filter

on my 47series Troopy it was a factory (?) one mounted pre OE filter, underneath drivers side, between door and rear wheel - before the tap for the Aux tank (I modified it later as it wasn't picking up from the Aux tank and fitted it in the engine bay before OE filter)

Thanks for that,,,,, anything to keep the fuel clean,
I'd like to fit this filter plus the Carter fuel pump like BigFletch did a while back

My one came with a purpose built bracket that sits perfectly mounted to the side near the main filter. Will take a photo tomorrow. Too wet and dark out there now ...

Had one on mine John for about three years , mounted near the brake master cylinder and pre oe filter. At filter change time I had to remove it entirely to get to it . PITA . never had dodgy fuel , dirty or water so I decided to remove it about a year ago.

I think I'll mount it with ease of filter changes in mind
might use braided lines as well. Cheap enough these days

Wow that's cheap!! I have this on my GQ as my primary filter and have had it for about 8 years. Mine runs a Delphi filter and I rate it. But a spare glass though as I have dropped one and smashed it which caused me to park the car until I could source another.
