Fuel transfer/polishing pump

..The main advantage of the paper depth filters is that they can filter down to very small particle size and they can hold a whole lot of crud, large and small, without clogging up. IOW, perfect for fuel polishing. IMHO the only benefit is that they soak up a lot of water. They probably do trap a lot of particles but also shed them. .... The Racor 2 micron filter that's past the TP filters is now 2 years old and is still clean. That's like bragging about how many times you can use the same condom. You could have spent the same amount of money on filter elements instead of the TP filter system, and have cleaner fuel. A lot of boats have their primary fuel filter in a difficult location. That's not an excuse to try and stretch the filter, it's a reason to either 1- buy a different boat or 2- remake the system so that you can change the filter element easily & quickly. BTW if you buy filter elements by the carton, you can carry a lot of them and not pay much. Fresh Breezes- Doug King |
