Fuel transfer/polishing pump
Sounds good but it might take a while.

It's a good idea to have a polishing system that you can run underway so when the tanks start sloshing, you can get the crud that is getting stirred up out of there. .... A polishing system recirculates and each pass through the filter removes more because a filter is much more than just a fancy sieve. I dunno. Sounds good in theory, and as Steve says his TP filters get a lot of gunk out of there. But I still have no confidence at all that they are not shedding gunk too. So, if a TP filter grabs X amount of gunk on Y passes, then a proper filter element would grab ? on fewer passes? Of course you need to change it, and a lot of the paper towel/TP filter theory seems to revolve around the idea that you shouldn't have to change filter elements, which is silly IMHO. Filter elements are the cheapest insurance you can get for your engine. BTW set up the polishing/transfer pump so it can be priming pump too. Saves a lot of hassle. Fresh Breezes- Doug King |
