Fuel transfer/polishing pump
I believe that was for OIL not diesel.

Ahem...you meant mineral lubricating oil, rather than
mineral fuel oil? Brian W On Fri, 28 Nov 2003 21:17:43 -0500, Glenn Ashmore wrote: I believe that was for OIL not diesel.

THe Gulf Coast paper towel filters are popular with trucker for
extending the life of lubricating oil which is what they were originally intended for. Brian Whatcott wrote: Ahem...you meant mineral lubricating oil, rather than mineral fuel oil?

From: Brian Whatcott Ahem...you meant mineral lubricating oil, rather than mineral fuel oil? Yeah, that's what he means. And check out the tolerances in a "mineral oil" lubricating pump verses the tolerances in a "mineral oil" fuel injector pump. Then maybe you will grasp why proper "mineral oil" fuel filtration is more critical than "mineral oil" lubrication filtation. Capt. Bill Capt. Bill |

But my point is that just because fuel oil and lubricating oil come from the same base material does not mean that they are filtered in the same way with the same filter materials or to the same standards with no thought as to how they are being used. in my not so humble view. That makes two of us. But then if you prefer to be addressed as "Capt." I can suppose that your opinion is not that of an engineer? You'd be right. And I believe it was engineers who assured the Captain of the Titanic that it was unsinkable. So, do you have opinions on brain surgery for me to grasp too? Yes. Try not to have it done if you can. You have one those as well, after all! :-) True. Thanks for noticing. (no offence) No offense taken. :-) Capt. Bill |
