Yeah I know he put in a system for his trawler.
I was hoping he would have a suggestion. I have a fram

housing...
checking on the cost for elements, also have a Racor

but
it is a bit to
expensive, 11 dollars per filter element. I also have

a
fine stainless
steel reusable scrubbale mesh filter I will use a a

pre
filter.

how fine is the SS mesh?


So fine you can barely blow air thru it



What is that in microns?




Also putting a water trap inline. It would be noce to

have a big screw
on fuel filter that was reletive cheap to replace,



use an old sock.


Ive heard of systems using paper towel rolls



yeah, I've also heard that bits of paper towel can end up in
your fuel.
