Fuel transfer/polishing pump
We're starting to flog a dead horse here .... so my very last comment
on all this is: .... take a toilet paper roll, get a container, immerse it in any oil that you want and let it soak, then add 1" of water to settle at the bottom of the container with the TP .... to the bottom of whatever you contain the toilet paper, let sit a week or more, remove and examine that the TP has fallen apart where the water has come in contact with the TP. Now consider that the TP in poorly designed boat system is held in place by a knife edge seal biteing into the end of the TP roll........ What happens later on when there is differential pressure across 'mush' (papier mache) being held by a knife edge seal and has a differential pressure across it. Water in fuel oil is common, as an emulsion from the refinery (errors in handling, etc.) and as the product of condensation on the tank farm walls with water entering the tankage through the tank vent, etc. I've herein posted what is the normal industry methods, 'state-of-the-art' ..... and what is 'snake oil'. ......and thats the final comment from me. You again mention non resin cellulose filters falling apart when wet. The home test I mentioned recently (I thought) would convince you that these filter materials *don't get wet* in the intended application? Ever hear of gravity settling and equlibrium displacement ? Dont consder to ever get a job as a lab tech.... you wont make it. Brian W |
