This is why I like the way my system is plumbed, i.e., the engine draws
from the polishing system. That way, you don't have to worry about
stirring up the fuel to polish it. If the engine is running and you're
in rough weather, it's being filtered before going to the engine. If
you have it in a separate loop and you run into rough weather that stirs
up the tank, you can introduce dirt from the tank wall that wasn't
dislodged while you were polishing and it'll get to the engine.

You don't have to worry about bubbling or stirring it up if it's always
being filtered before getting to the engine. And you can run the system
with the engine off also to get a multiple pass circulation just like if
it was in a separate loop.

Sounds good to me.

Have another beer. Please clarify that "...fuel oil needs to be kept clean
to a higher
degree than fuel oil..."? You lost me.



It's an obvious miss statement.
I of course meant to write: "...fuel oil needs to be kept clean
to a higher
degree than lubricating oil..."

I'm not drinking Doug. But based on some of your replys I have had my doubts
about you. :-)

It never fails in a thread that lasts this long that the personal insults
start appearing. You haven't offered all that much useful anyway so
won't miss the lack of any further contributions from you.

After having my lift pump fail half way across the Gulf Stream, I think
I'll stick to what Yanmar and the mechanic in FL suggested even
beyond the warranty.

Did your sails fail too? :-)

No, we sailed to the point where we needed a tow to get into Lake Worth
Inlet.
Didn't seem prudent to try and sail through the inlet.

Makes sense.


And didn't you say you had electric priming pumps?

No. Not until after getting repairs at Rybovich. We have one now.

Ok, I wasn't sure of the time line.

If so, why did you not use those to run the engine?

QED

Got it.

That's an interesting take, considering you're the one who first implied that I
had been drinking while responding to you.

It seems you can't take a joke.
Not to mention your poor reading in context skills.

As to useful information put forth, same to you. :-)

Good luck with your "polishing" system.

Correct. But that does that make those statements "invalid"?

Yes.

Expound please.
