Mastry, my Yanmar distributor, does not like the paper towel filters AT
ALL.

I'n not convinced that these paper towel filter elements are a great

dust if I look close.

See http://www.trawlerworld.com/features_06.htm for a good polishing

system

based on the Gulf Coast F-1 filter and Walbro pump. I installed one like
this on my Krogen and love it.

I am designing a fuel polishing and transfer system. My thought
is to use valves to route fuel from any tank to any tank. No
problem with that part. I want to be able to just transfer fuel
or switch in a filter to polish the fuel while transferring. Since
I can select the same tank for source and destination, I can
polish fuel in place as well. The problem comes with the selection
of a pump. I was looking at a Groco or Jabsco pump which seems
good for transfer purposes, but way exceeds the flowrate of the
filter when polishing. A Walbro fuel pump (which I have as a priming
pump now) seems like a good fit for polishing (33 GPH) but will be

slow

when just transferring fuel. What happens when a 5.5 GPM pump
(Jabsco) is pushing fuel through a filter rated at 60 GPH (RACOR 500)?

Thanks!
