fuel filter system

in the beggining of the summer i installed the double double fuel filter setup provided by Sbmar and its awesome as i no longer am fighting the racors. i still have crud in my tanks but the filter change is a breeze especially with the priming bulb setup. I run twin qsm11 cummins 670hp each and have no issue as far as fuel flow. the only the i changed in the setup was i went with a bigger ball valve/shut off valve upstream of each filter system than the ones provided. very happy with this setup and next plan to plumb in a macerator pump to chew up all of the crud i have in my tanks so it will actuall make it into the filters without clogging the inlet ports. hope this helps!
