I own a 1998 BF 130.
I drain the vapor separator each fall when I winterize the engine.
Every spring, as part of spring commissioning I siphon the old fuel from the tank, fill the tank with new fuel and stabil, replace all three fuel filters (external, internal - low pressure, and internal - high pressure), pump new fuel into the engine with the ball cock, and burn off the fogging oil.
For the first time I noticed fuel dripping from the vapor separator drain screw. The amount is not significant, yet it drips continually.
I replaced the drain screw and o-ring. The drip remains.
Has the separator's internal float failed?
Do I need to replace the entire separator?
Thanks in advance.
