"Bruce" wrote One thing I did add to my sailboat fuel system is a water trap. I suspect that device is vital in your climate and fuel supply chain. After two years of paying no attention to fuel or filters, I found not a drop of water in the sediment bowl of my water separating filter. I think Wayne is right, for my small diesel, operating in New England, I'm covered. I'll probably add a parallel filter when I start going to Newfoundland because that trip will involve a lot of motoring close along the cliffs to take pictures. I learned that the PO was running 2 micron filters in the primary and I'm going to continue that. I can see changing the primary underway in emergency conditons but I would not want to tackle the secondary in my installation. The primary is rated for 15 GPH and my engine needs less than 1 so it would take a lot of filter degradation to shut me down. My primary was loaded black and the secondary looked like it was put in yesterday when I opened the system up. I've never seen anything like that water trap here. Has anyone else? -- Roger Long |
