Default Water seperators?

Why can't I find any water separators for gas motors? Even though I own a 1984 carb Cherokee, I think it would be a good idea. In my old tractors (1930-1960) have them. My other ride is a Cummings diesel, and man have I had water problems. I think this would be a good idea for fuel injected motors? Let me know your thoughts. Thanks

I think u cant find any cause they dont exist. I am not sure but I believe that gas is to thin to seperate water from, not like thick diesle fuel.

why not just use one from west marine for a boat? plumb it inline undeer the hood, with all the E10/E15 it would be a pretty good idea.

Any amount of water entering a diesel engine combustion chamber can be catastrophic, not so with a gas engine. Thats why you have never seen a water injection kit for a diesel.
