Fuel Filter?

[4x15mph]

I have a 2001 LS2000 with aftermarket Fuel/Water separators installed by the previous owner. I do not see any fuel filters and I planned to replace them today. Does anyone know whether the fuel/water separator filter also acts as the fuel filter or do you know where my fuel filters would be in a 2001???

He could have cut them out when he installed the fuel/water filters since I see where the hose was cut before the filter.

Thank you

Pictures might help on that LS..... It's been 10 years since we owned one and a little refresher would be nice to see....

Unfortunately a picture will not help since you will see fuel lines without any fuel filter. The question comes down to whether you would have a fuel filter when you have a fuel/water separator. I think someone may confirm that the fuel/water filter serves double duty. Filters the fuel and extracts the water

I will take a picture tomorrow if no one has any other ideas. Thank you

My 01 LS the filters are on the port side, cable tied to the tin divider... Hope this helps.

Ah yes, those are definitely fuel filters.... Do you have these installed @4x15mph ?

@JC6275, No, I do not have anything in line of the fuel lines between the hull wall and the fuel/water separator filters. I really think the fuel/water separator functions as my fuel filter in this case. Does anyone have a fuel/water separator and if so, are you still using an additional fuel filter?

I did install primer bulbs yesterday so once I put the jets back in, I will see if this helps with the cold starts.

I agree with @4x15mph I would think the separators act as the filters.

This is something I think everyone would be interested in since even if you have a newer boat, it would make sense to install fuel/water filter separators given the ethanol that is in the gas.

I pulled my gas tank cover to verify that there were no fuel filters under there and there are not. It was nice to have it open and it led me to clean this up. I also bought new screws to put this back together so it will be as good as new when I am done. New gaskets, etc. It is coming along nice

Island Racing confirmed that the Sierra Fuel/Water Filter separator takes the place of an in-line fuel filter.
