Default Fuel transfer/polishing pump

This is so true it isn't funny - but these marina sailors don't know
that - so they invent these stupid designs - like the guy with 6 or 8
or 12 fuel tanks in a 50' boat - what total stupidity. Get a life - go
cruising - instead of being "wanna-be" naval architects.

LISTEN UP - all the **** sits on the bottom till the 1st rolly bouncy
storm - then it gets stirred into suspension - and sucked into the
filters and clogs them quickly.


And it all gets sucked into the polishig system at the same time which has
a flow rate many times that of the engine. End result is that the crap load
into the engine system is much less. Also, after bouncing around long enough
to filter that tank, I switch to the other tank and filter that while still
bouncing
around so that next time the fuel is pretty very clean.

BTW, throw away your epirbs and radios so you can't call someone out
into danger to rescue your stupid ass.


Go ahead.




And fuel "polishing" is a joke IMHO.
Unless the fuel in the tank/s is well stirred up all you are doing is

filtering
what is already clean, settled out fuel.
