Fuel transfer/polishing pump
I don't think I would use one for an engine filter, but they seem to
be well suited to polishing. My Yanmar distributor said that using any filter less than 30 micron would void my warranty.

Doug "Keith" wrote in message ... See http://www.trawlerworld.com/features_06.htm for a good polishing system based on the Gulf Coast F-1 filter and Walbro pump. I installed one like this on my Krogen and love it.

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! Doug s/v Callista -- Glenn Ashmore I'm building a 45' cutter in strip/composite.
