 I am designing a fuel polishing and transfer system. My thought
 is to use valves to route fuel from any tank to any tank. No
 problem with that part. I want to be able to just transfer fuel
 or switch in a filter to polish the fuel while transferring. Since
 I can select the same tank for source and destination, I can
 polish fuel in place as well. The problem comes with the selection
 of a pump. I was looking at a Groco or Jabsco pump which seems
 good for transfer purposes, but way exceeds the flowrate of the
 filter when polishing. A Walbro fuel pump (which I have as a priming
 pump now) seems like a good fit for polishing (33 GPH) but will be slow
 when just transferring fuel. What happens when a 5.5 GPM pump
 (Jabsco) is pushing fuel through a filter rated at 60 GPH (RACOR 500)?
 
 Thanks!
