In addition to the standard Buhk fuel filter, at Bill's recommendation I also added a small inline fuel filter to the system jut as the fuel comes out of the tank. Now I'm also wondering if I should have a fuel/water separator installed as well and am wondering the following:

1) Have other people done this for their Laser 28?
2) If it's recommended, would people suggest just a fuel water separator element or one with a built in filter as well (such as the Racor 100 series)?

If another fuel filter was added prior to the fuel lift pump, would this allow for a filer change without the need to bleed the system of air afterwards?
