Go to your local autoparts emporium and buy yourself an inline fuel filter. I've got one of those big transluscent plastic ones with a paper filter element inside (for a VW bug, I think) that I've been using for over 15 years and have never had a drop of water come through. They're pretty cheap in IMHO very effective. Don McIntyre Clarksville, TN

I like the one Don recommends below. Just keep an eye on it. If it literally fills with water (as they do here in the South), just undo the small drain plug or disconnect it from the hose and empty it.

Clever idea although I don't often see translucent fuel filters. BTW moisture traps are merely an expansion chamber that allows the water vapor to come out of suspension before the air is forced back into the small hose. Ya need something translucent so you can tell when to empty it! hth
