As long as you don't drink a big gulp of water, it will never get to the IP.
I always love the way people think mercedes engineers are damn near retarded, and that after market junk is always better.
Just ain't so.

That scientific principle is complicated significantly by the fact that emulsified water behaves much differently than whole water. And what happens when you hit a bump in the road and the water in the bottom on the filter trades places with the fuel in the top? Or you put on the brakes and the heavier water sloshes forward and up?
Stanadyne water separators are installed as original equipment on hundreds of vehicles and other equipment produced by over 60 manufacturers, including John Deere, Ford, GM, Mack, Case, New Holland, Perkins, Caterpillar and AGCO. Would you have us believe that all of these companies employ "retarded" engineers? Just ain't so, Joe.
