Fuel polishing or transfer pump

Post by yooper »

I just got a 140 GPH 12V Electric fuel pump. I am going to rig up a transfer pump. I borrowed one from a boat mechanic to clean crud out of my boat tanks before my first launch. The separators caught a lot of rust colored sledge. You keep recycling some fresh gas until the separators were clean. I have a second Marinette stored for about 3 years I am going to use it on. I am also going to pull some gas up to the rubber line attached to the boats fuel pump. Last year we had to blow out a plugged gas line on the port engine. Looking around on line I saw one rig that used two see thru filters before and after the pump. Why two? Another guy said to find a ignition protected switch to make the circut with a battery, I may also invest in a funnel type water separator so I can make clean gas right out of the tank.
