Fuel transfer/polishing pump
I'n not convinced that these paper towel filter elements are a great
thing. When I pull a sheet off of a roll I can usually notice a fine dust if I look close. 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 |
