No offense -- but have you?

Yes.

They're are not solid top to bottom as you seem
to suggest.

No I didn't.

The plate bottoms, in particular, usually have tunnels.

That's my point. It takes much more aggressive agitation than "bubbling" in one
baffled area to get the fuel stirred up and moving through your "tunnels".

Capt. Bill

Yes, but it is better than nothing.

At least for that one baffled area. Which may be on the far side of the tank
away from the pickup. :-)

Capt. Bill

If it is away from the pickup, then it isn't entering into the problem.
If things get stirred up then the polishing system will do its job
better.

Of course. But in the context of "bubbling" the fuel to "polish" it, it doesn't
do much good.

This is why I like the way my system is plumbed, i.e., the engine draws
from the polishing system. That way, you don't have to worry about
stirring up the fuel to polish it. If the engine is running and you're
in rough weather, it's being filtered before going to the engine. If
you have it in a separate loop and you run into rough weather that stirs
up the tank, you can introduce dirt from the tank wall that wasn't
dislodged while you were polishing and it'll get to the engine.

You don't have to worry about bubbling or stirring it up if it's always
being filtered before getting to the engine. And you can run the system
with the engine off also to get a multiple pass circulation just like if
it was in a separate loop.

Sounds good to me.
