So I ran into a water in my fuel issue last summer. I have been looking into keeping my stored fuel "up to par". Circulating fuel from a tank, through filters, and back to the tank is considered fuel "polishing".
Another member and I won a "lot" of blood coolers and in this lot we got 4 centrifugal pumps. I took off the 3phase 1.5hp motor and replaced it with a 110 single phase motor. Most of the cam-lock hoses I have are of the 3/4 variety, so I adapted the input/output to 3/4. I was worried that most of my spin on filter heads were 3/8 or smaller, then I saw that house filter with 3/4 in and outs. I guess I will use this to do most of the filtering till I find a high volume water block/filter.
I am just testing this out with stuff I have sitting around till I see if it will accomplish what I want. Then I might spend money on additional items. I will try to update the thread as I discover things through trial and error.
Here is a pic of the pump as of 15min ago.
