For a single engine boat Triple, two running in parallel at all times, one for standby all same micron. That’s what we run on tow boats. We change filters every 500 hours. If in between the filters get gummed up you swap over to your single and put yourself in a safer position than you were in because they never clog up at a convenient time and change your twins at first available time and open one of the new ones. If it clogs up once you are prob going to be changing them fairly regularly shortly after that so it’s nice to have two in running in parallel to stretch out filter swaps. Although we go through prob an average of 20,000 gallons of fuel a month.
How many gallons of fuel does 500 hours represent? What type of filters? Thanks.
