ABSTRACT:
In a fuel-water separator including entry and exit ports for fuel connectable in a fuel line supplying an engine and fuel flow paths between the ports for separating water from the fuel, the improvement comprises first and second passages leading to the exit port and a float valve ball for closing the first passage in response to the accumulation of a predetermined level of separated water. The second passage has a cross-sectional dimension which is substantially smaller than the first so that only restricted operation of the engine is permitted by virtue of a reduced fuel flow rate through the second passage when the first passage is closed.
