A water separator itself is not a bad idea. It all depends on the unit. The ones I see on the TD series tractors are mounted under the cab (or floor plate), and behind the ladder assembly, often tend to be neglected. Sooner or later fuel problems arise and finally someone decides to replace the spin on element. By then it's probably years old, corroded, and in an awkward spot to deal with. By the time the filter is changed the base and brackets are bent, twisted, the fittings get torqued, yanked around, and before you know it there are air leaks. Mounted between the tank and the lift pump, air leaks tend to cause problems.
If it's in good shape, and serviced regularly, then it serves a purpose. When I come across one on a tractor with fuel supply problems, repeated air in the system issues, one of the first things I do is bypass it to determine if or not it's part (or most) of the problem. The results determine what comes next.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
