Out of curiosity, how often does everyone check their water separator under
the car? Or should I ask how often should you check it?

There's the beast at retail and "jobber price". My cost is over $20 so
jobber price is about the best I could do on one.
You've got it about right Mike. I think you could drop it down though,
pinch off the line and just catch a half gallon or so. The things DO work
and for some reason it didn't seem all that simple to just bypass it.
Maybe different sized hoses, prefab fittings or something? Could be
wrong there though. I just recall that a new knob was the best solution
for me.
Yup, the threads are about 8mm or 6mm on that big knob. Havn't
broken mine since. Honestly I think it was broken before I turned it.
I never felt a snap or anything. Just have to be a little careful and they
don't seem to break.
