Hi Dick, Thank you for such a detailed response. I had a quick look at the Steve D'Antonio's website - looks very informative and interesting, I will have to spend a few hours on it - there is a lot of info that can be relevant to us. We have been using the 30microns in our primary filter, but now looking at it, maybe it is better if we change for 10 micron. Do you know much about the differences/advantages of 10 over 30? I could not find any information in the engine manual. The double Racor looks very interesting, but at the moment is pretty expensive, so we are looking at how we can update our system using the tools and equipment we have. Plus, as with any boat, one needs to be quite innovative in finding a space where to fit the extra stuff. The vacuum gauge would still be a great addition. I note, that you use the filters before the fuel gets distributed to engine, generator and a stove, - does it not affect the fuel output if both generator and engine are run at the same time? All of this gives us a lot of food for thought... What is best to do, - to change the spin on filter for the FG500 and add the emergency 3 way connection valve to connect both generator primary and the propulsion engine primary plus a vacuum gauge, or. bite the bullet and go for the ready made product, but then, we will need to see where we can fit it so that it is visible and accessible.... Thank you again, Oksana
