i installed a lawnmower fuel filter and it says it will fit motors from 1 to 8 hp but the question is the oil that is in the gas getting strained out by going through the fuel filter?

should only be a small mesh to screen out any particles in liquid
shouldn't seperate oil/gas

it won't make it flow better, the purpose of a fuel filter is to keep any sediment or rust or any other crap from clogging your carb

Some of these posts are fairly hard to read due to grammar and the use of vernacular. I'm not a spelling Nazi but do appreciate posts that are easily understood when read.
Notwithstanding, oil is mixed in solution with the gasoline and not separatable by a filter. A fuel filter will not cause higher flow rates but a moderately sized one can act as a miniature fuel reservoir for those of us who have a low and rear mounted fuel tank and ride up steep hills
