Doug,

My poslishing/transfer system will be totally separate from the
engine system. I do have an electric priming pump that is a godsend.
Plan on installing dual electric lift pumps on the engine.

Sounds good but it might take a while.

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.
