I saw where Tarm used one to feed his dahl water seperator and supply his surge tank. I am considering using one also, but have seen a lot of negative info on the web about their reliability. Is anyone else running one?
I am considering seting it up to run all of the filtration and supply the main fuel pump with filtered fuel. It would be plumbed to draw from the tank through a 1/2 in pickup tube, through the seperator, and into the pump. It would feed into the final 2micron filter, and out to the inlet of the main fuel pump. All hose from the tank to the inlet of the main fuel pump would be 1/2 inch. I could even plumb a tank return in the line between the final filter and the main fuel pump to keep the lift pump from building pressure. That would keep the lift pump free flow and reduce strain on it.
My thoughts are that this setup would leave my main fuel pump free to strictly presurize by taking the lifting strain off of it. It would also allow me to install a air removal tank similar to what Tarm is using in betwewen the final filter and the main fuel pump. My thoughts where that the filters would release entrained air so that an air trap could be used to remove it.
Anyone see a potential problem with this design?
