- When it comes to your marine diesel engine, having particulates and water in the fuel can be a huge problem. The solution can be adding a fuel polishing system to your yacht engine that filters out contaminants.
After researching some of the fuel polishing systems on the market, such as the Keenan systems, and receiving feedback on the potential for in-line fuel polishers to interfere with engine warranty, we have designed and installed a stand alone fuel polisher for our Leopard 45 Catamaran. In this video Ty tells you why he believes a stand alone fuel polisher is better, how our fuel polishing system is set up and which parts he used.
We are adding this part to the system: www.tankandbar...

Consider adding a 3 way selector valve on the intake side that allows you to pull fuel out of Jerry cans instead of the tank. This filters the fuel before it enters the tanks. We find this makes putting fuel in the tanks very easy when no fuel dock is available.
Smart
Clean install definitely K.I.S.S. solution
ya we have had enough trouble xD
Very nice and well thought out install.
Thank you, hopefully others can replicate it
Very nicely done.👍⛵️
Thanks 👍
Does adding a biocide treatment to the tank affect the polishing system in any way, or would running the system remove the treatment before it could do its job?
No and we suggest Liqui Moly Diesel Protect
@@travelsketch The only and verified diesel biocide is Grotamar 82. Approved by OTAN...
@travelsketch I have looked for Liquimoly via Super Cheap Auto ( name from the past ), they have shed loads , but which one are you specifically using ?
Is it called Diesel Protect?
👍🇭🇲🦘
Disregard , realised marine, not road stockist.
Breather hose as a return is a bad idea -if the breather hose gets blocked you will dump all your fuel overboard... The return must be t'd into either the engine supply or return
This has been modified, will update now.
I get the concept of fuel scrubbing. But returning fuel to the same tank which holds contamination must require many passes through the scrubber to clean all the fuel and main tanks from debris. Would a day tank downstream from the scrubber offer a solution to store clean fuel ready to use as required? My understanding is storage of large quantities of fuel inevitably for longer periods on yachts, increases the risk of contamination.
You are correct. That said you clean the diesel before the tank becomes unusable. It becomes a regular cycle run periodically. No matter what tanks you install (most boats won't have the space and pumping between the two is the best option) one tank will always have some diesel bug in it without chemical treatment.
Any issues with the flow into the vent line being high enough that it prevents adequate air to vent and therefore resulting in fuel being expelled out of the vent? I tied our 1/4” water maker product line, 15 gal/hr, into our tanks 3/8” vent line and had that problem.
