Default Anyone ever try a "dewatering filter" ?

Found a guy selling these on ebay, amazon, and a yahoo store. Thought about buying a couple, leave one in the deuce tank, and put one in my collection barrel. Anyone have any experience with these? Be great if they work...
Dewatering filter for closed drums and tanks. Removes Water from WVO,Black Diesel or biodiesel

I have used them for a few years now. Mine look like oversize tampons. I hang three on a chain and hang them inside the tank. I remove them about once a month and replace them with another set while the water soaked ones are hung up to dry. There are reuseable and they work!

I guess you will have to experiment with it to see if it works, as in leave an external water separator (with clear base or drain valve) in line with your filtration system until you can prove to yourself this item is reliable.

I would be curious to see if it worked. How does a water separator do? I've been looking at them online along with TSC. Anyone here using them?

Pilots have been using fuel/water separators for years. Pre-flight requires taking fuel samples from the low points in each fuel tank and checking for water and proper color of fuel; the color being the octane indicator for different grades of av-gas. Many pilots use a sampling cup that has a membrane that allows water and not fuel to pass through it. The water is held in the flask and the fuel can be returned to the fuel tank. This is especially important because there is a $2,500 fine for anyone observed throwing the fuel sample into the air or pouring the 6-8 oz sample onto the ground.

The in-tank "tampons" are wrapped in the same type of filter material. The inside of the "tampon" is a water holding material. Yank the tampon from the tank and allow it to dry and it is once again ready for work.

I have emailed the seller and he is willing to give a discount for a group buy. If anyone is interested in trying these out let me know and I will give him the quantities and report back on the amount of discount. He also sells these on ebay and has great feedback.
