 Transfer is what I was thinking of. It's a good idea to have a polishing system
 that you can run underway so when the tanks start sloshing, you can get the crud
 that is getting stirred up out of there.
 
 
 .... A polishing system recirculates and each
 pass
 through the filter removes more because a filter is much more than just a
 fancy
 sieve. I dunno.
 
 Sounds good in theory, and as Steve says his TP filters get a lot of gunk out of
 there. But I still have no confidence at all that they are not shedding gunk
 too. So, if a TP filter grabs X amount of gunk on Y passes, then a proper filter
 element would grab ? on fewer passes? Of course you need to change it, and a lot
 of the paper towel/TP filter theory seems to revolve around the idea that you
 shouldn't have to change filter elements, which is silly IMHO. Filter elements
 are the cheapest insurance you can get for your engine.
 
 BTW set up the polishing/transfer pump so it can be priming pump too. Saves a
 lot of hassle.
