The Racor Filter Funnel comes complete with a built-in DuPont Teflon PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) coated stainless steel screen filter. As fuel is being filtered, free water and contaminates collect on the bottom. Because water is heavier than fuel, free water will settle to the bottom. When you have a substantial amount of water (approximately 1 cup), dispose of it properly and resume refueling. When properly used, the filter will separate free water from hydrocarbon fuels. Free water is a collection of water molecules in the bottom of fuel cans, tanks, or drums, formed when fuel is stored for even short periods of time. The free water formation is due to condensation in the air and/or separation of water molecules from fuel. Water may be present in hydrocarbon fuels as free water or as an emulsion, small droplets of water suspended in fuel. Water may be emulsified in fuel by vibration or by emulsifying additives such as alcohol, or detergents. The RFF filter will not remove emulsified water. Instead, install a Racor fuel filter/water separator to remove emulsified water from your fuel delivery or engine fuel system. Excessive filling will cause pressure and can force water through the funnels filter. If funnel filter is more than 1/3 covered with water and flow rate begins to slow, stop fueling immediately, properly dispose of water and contaminates from the funnel, then continue fueling. 2-cycle oil contains detergents, which may allow some water to pass through the filter screen. The only safe way to filter out water is to add the 2- cycle oil to the tank after filtering the fuel through the funnel. Additives containing alcohol can emulsify and bind water to fuel. The filter cannot remove this bound water. Add additives after fueling. Do not attempt to remove the filter from the funnel, filter is permanently attached to the funnel.

Works Perfectly But Not Sure On The Size
Just stick it under the tap and you'll see no water goes through but petrol passes through fine, it's actually a very clever filter with zero maintenance other than a quick wipe with a cloth. The only slight problem I found was with the shape of the funnel, it's quite a high narrow shape and in hindsight I should have ordered the larger one http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B003O3MIFU/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=B003O3MIFU&linkCode=as2&tag=a0b7a-21 not so much for the extra flow rate but more just for spilling less. Talking of which if anybody knows how to get the bit out that is left in the bottom I'd like to hear how?

item works really well
but read the instructions and LISTEN TO THE INSTRUCTIONS. I did read the instructions and still cleaned it with dish cleaner. Now is ruined, but its my fault. before that it worked just great.Also to the seller, thank you for the free upgrade to the largest size, this helped a lot and the one I bough initially would have been too small.
