    We used a Mr. Funnel for fueling aircraft from jerry cans at village airstrips in Africa. (They used to have a sticker on them saying "not for aircraft use" ... But they worked great.) They separate water out well, as long as there is no alcohol in the fuel.

    I really like them.

    So, how do they work with a 50:1 mix? Do they change the mix proportions by stripping the oil?

    Q. Will the filter work on mixed fuel with 2-cycle oil in it?

    A. Yes, but if your 2-cycle oil has a detergent base the detergents can break down molecules of water and some water might pass the screen. Usually only a drop or two but if you are concerned, filter the fuel a second time because unless the sump is full of water, it is not possible that any water passed the filter.
