Fuel Polishing

Good stuff Delfin... THANKS!

I've been on-the-fence about using AC or DC power for it. You make a good point about using AC. I'll need to decide if wiring it to the breaker panel will be something to tackle as opposed to just doing a local plug into the GFCI outlet in the bilge and a swicth on the board I was planning on mounting it all to. But the motor and pump combo sure is cheaper than what I was planning on using. Didn't I read something about "continuous duty" needs for these pumps?

Why JIC fittings? I was planning on NPT and barbed connections. Bad idea? Really? I suppose I could go the NPT route on the low pressure stuff for the new filtering rig and use the JIC fittings for the polisher. Acceptable? Or no...

(oh... can you tell me what "carbonator pump" means exactly)

Thanks,
Tom-
