Eric, I have never had water in my fuel filter, perhaps as a result of my fuel polishing system, and would like to eliminate the wiring and sensor. Don't I need a different setup under the filter? Whe

I am with Brian and most of the others in support of Julie's posting. Her book is about sailing an Amel and that makes all of the difference. I too would not have known about it without her first post
