Hi Steve,

Apologies for not responding until now. The fuel polisher is still on my to-do list but now that I have a lot of the excess stuff out of the engine room there's room for it and I'll start this Fall. Right now I'm in PEI, Canada until September but on returning home will replace the two fuel tanks and build/install the fuel polisher. The bane of my life is engines that won't start. I have the pump from a diesel truck on hand but I don't know its capacity so am more inclined just to buy a decent sized unit and be done with it. But I think you should be able to do a lot better than $350 --- more along the lines of $100 to $125. Before I jump though, I'll measure the capacity of the 12V pump I have. Will let you lknow the outcome, but it will be September before I can do this.

Hi Bloodhound, Steve Bryant here out of OCBC OKC, OK.
I am curious about your comments from a couple of years ago concerning your attempt to build a homemade fuel polisher.
I want to build one also but haven't settled upon a pump yet. I know that “Racor” has a P3 Series device which is an all in one "pump/filter/water separator" for about $350.00. It is their answer to the “Parker” fuel polishing system.
My question to you is do you know of a 12 volt fuel pump that would be capable of taking diesel from a tank, putting it through a filter and water separator and back into the tank again?
What about the use of a truck or automobile diesel fuel pump?
Thanks,
Steve
