Fuel transfer/polishing pump
At Trawlersfest I had two lengthy discussions with paper towel filter advocates. Their theory is that the random oriented strands of the paper towel can trap any size particle, down to sub-micron, instead of acting like a sieve to pass through anything below a given size (they like to avoid mentioning that the "sieve" stops anything above it's rated size). Next time you get into this type of discussion, ask them how the fibers are held together so that they dont release particles under increasing differential pressure. You need a resin to hold the fibers together. Then ask them how much particulate bypasses the 'knife edge' seal that 'bites' into the end of the paper roll. Then get a glass of water, crumple up some of their paper roll, put it into the glass of water. Wait to see how long the paper takes to disintegrate into a slurry. Tell me where on this planet that there is NO water in fuel oil, either as free water or as an emulsion. ;-) |
