Best water seperators are in the 95% to 99% efficency range. When looking at water seperator products -they typically have ratings for free water and emulsified water. Free water is easily trapped but emulsified is a different story.
Hey, so cool your info and leads to questions and comments
If the OEMs also know this (rhetorical, they should know this), then
they have no position to every deny a warranty claim based on H2O in
the system.
They designed in protections (filter, membranes, separators, exotic
coatings, etc), so how in the world can they say any owner is responsible
for H2O in the fuel system?
They can only take that position if they installed 100% membranes,
separators, etc, etc, etc.
Then the fact that "the BEST separators are in the 95%-99%
efficiency range"...that says to me that maybe the OEMs are NOT
using the 'best', but something less (cheaper)...is this a ditto for
the membrane's too?
Emulsified is another matter, but still in line with the above comment
of how in the world can any OEM deny a warranty based on emulsification?
Now am more certain that the thread(s) on lubricity is only taking
about a band-aid to the H2O problem due to cavitation that then
strips away the exotic coating (DLC) that is weakened by organic amines
