Fuel transfer/polishing pump
Are you guys sure you really need all this stuff?
I fueled in some pretty suspicious places with questionable fuel in a lot of third world countries. I used a Baja filter for all the fuel entering the 1 (one) and only fuel tank. It would usually pick up a few ounces of water and a lot of crud in the first filter element. The one and only time bad fuel stopped our engine was in the ICW after picking up a load of very water logged fuel. Just anchored, changed the filter, and emptied about 1 quart water from the filter bowl. Because I was in the US, where bad fuel is seldom a problem, I didn't use the Baja filter....I must have been that guy's only customer that year. Just my experience after 3-1/2 years cruising. -- Evan Gatehouse you'll have to rewrite my email address to get to me ceilydh AT 3web dot net (fools the spammers) |
