Fuel Polishing again.
Good point. I hadn't thought of that. But then I am not using Raycor
fuel/water separators for the polishing system. I am using depth filters rather than surface filters so the water should be trapped within the filters. Also, I do have Raycor on the engine system so any residual water will be handled there as well. Doug s/v Callista "Rick" wrote in message hlink.net...

I am using a 2 stage approach. maybe putting the filter between the filters is an option. You want to avoid having the pump act as an homogenizer. If the pump takes suction directly from the tank it will thoroughly mix all the water and crud that you want to filter out. This makes it much more difficult to remove in the filters. The Racors operate best on the suction side because the separator section of the filter will, when it receives one, deposit a clean slug of water in the bowl rather than clog the filter media with an emulsion created by the pump.
