Hello Richard:
Here is a thougth I hope you would address...
Ive read about the advantages of an onboard "fuel polishing" system.
Ive also read about the advantages of having a dual (redundant) filter
system with the belief if a filter gets clogged and stalls the engine,
the operator can simply flip a few ball valves and place the spare
filter system in service. I guess that a good thing to have cause, "ya
dont want that crud in the tank breaking loose in rough water and kill
the engine just when you need power most."
Question: If there is periodic fuel polishing is there a need for a
redundent filter system?? My thinking is, hey I got a clean tank and
polish often (please define "often" for me) so why have the extra
plumbing? Am i tempting Fate, over optimistic?
