Our process is pretty close to delfins, but with slightly different filtering.

From storage tanks to day tank filtering is 30 micro plus water separation from the Racor. The goal is to get rid of the sea gull, cats, dogs, trash, and water. 30 micron accomplishes this. I think 10 would be fine too. We picked 30 so we can carry only one type of Racor for everything.

Consumption of fuel goes through another 30 micron Racor, 10 micron on engine OEM, then 2 micron on engine OEM. The Racor is 30 because that's what Deere says to use. But because the day tank contents are pre- filtered and dewatered, these additional 3 filters are always acting on clean, civilized fuel.
