water separator

Just bought a 97 outback love it but not sure if it has fuel sep. or fuel filter (when do you replace either?)351 engine

You should have a fuel/water separating filter, located on the stbd. stringer under the fuel pump(looks kinda like an oil filter). This is a Sierra brand filter, and may be cross referenced to Mercruiser or Aqua power filters easily. It should be replaced every 100hrs., or at the beginning of the ski season. Hope this helps.
