- 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.tankandbarrel.com/valves-...

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.
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
Clean install definitely K.I.S.S. solution
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?
Very nice and well thought out install.
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.
Very nicely done.👍⛵️
