Fuel transfer/polishing pump

Steve, I like your system. It seems like a reasonable approach. One thing I would like to be able to do is polish one tank while using the other though. One point that Rich makes is that a recirc system can move fuel much faster due to the the large effective pore size of the depth filter. Placing a 2 uM filter after the TP filter does negate that advantage. I was planning on doing exactly that as well because the TP filter would seem to be susseptable to shedding. It sounds from your experience that is not the case. Perhaps there is a little bit of shedding right at the beginning but anything shed would be quickly removed on a subsequent pass or by the engine filters. I would still put a filter after the TP filter just to be sure. If not a 2uM, then maybe a 10uM or 15uM. On my system, there's still the engine mounted final filter after the TP and the Racor. But that one is a bit more of a pain to change so I really want to keep the fuel to it as clean as possible. That's why I use the 2uM. Steve |
