nice setup on ebay

check out this filter/pump system on ebay. It looks a little costly, but if nothing else download the pics and use it for a template.

Two house filter and a goldenrod filter tied together with a HF clear water pump.

Ida beat me to it. This is designed to filter water not diesel. The first two filters are typical filters for removing particulates from drinking water. A true POS

So THEROAD, which system are you using?

I pump diesel around for my boats. I use 12 and 120V pumps rated for diesel. Not cheap. They have impellers that are designed to pump diesel and waste motor oil. I think the impellers are viton. The ebay system appears based on a water pump, using water sedimate filters. I even wonder if the pump is rated for continuous duty. If you want to filter wmo or wvo it should be a contiouous duty pump. It may be cheap; but don't use it in a building. Looks like a fire hasard to me.

If you have pics of your system, I would like to see them. I want to build a system, and obviously want to do it right. Your experience is appreciated.

Guys, we have alot of threads on filtering. A quick search should net you alot of reading. I have tried many ways and have settled on a pneumatic powered barrel pump that pumps through a set of multifuel filters(I had a spare housing of secondary and final filters from a motor) and then through a Fleetguard FS1000. It works great and anyone from the Ga Rally can tell you how well it worked. I like the setup because all the filters will pull out water in the fuel. I also plumbed in pressure guages befor each filter so it helps tell me which filter is clogged. The filters tend to collapse(sp?) above 100psi, so I can regulate how fast(how much pressure) the pump works. I have found with the heavy oils, cutting it with gas helps speed the process. I might try to add pics to this thread later, but have a busy weekend ahead of me.
