In parallel to my PoBoy wmo centrifuge project I posted, I've made 2 custom aluminum fuel tanks & I'm redoing the entire fuel system. I was hoping to get some input from more experienced IDI guys.
What my plan is:
Driver side tank is clean D2, passenger side is WMO & once my flatbed is built I'll hide the existing tank high up between the frame rails & use it as a wmo transfer tank.
So far I've only bought an AC Delco U7000 selector valve which I converted into a U7001 by taking off 3 unglued rubber caps?!? I don't feel like buying an overpriced oem switch, correct me if I'm wrong but I just need a DPDT switch to wire the valve & fuel senders?
For filtration, I was thinking 100 micron stainless mesh filters straight out of the tanks for the big stuff, then fuel filters/water seperators before the fuel selector valve and finally the stock filter/seperator.
Would 30 microns mesh filters be better right out of the tanks? I just want to catch tank crud but not create unnecessary restrictions at the first filter.
Should i just use plain filters before the selector valve?
Or replace stock by plain filter & seperators before the selector valve?
Or filter/seperators everywhere?
Here's a sketch:
The marine filter/seperators I was thinking of buying:
I would mount these underneath the sleeper behind the cab & make stone shields to be safe.
For the lines, I'm split between regular flex & hard lines or fancy stainless braided teflon with screw-up-yourself connectors. Does anyone have experience with those 20ft line & 6An connector kits? My only limitation is the AC Delco selector valve which is platic & made for rubber hose so 6An to barb adaptors would be needed there.
Besides that, I'm putting a cartridge heater by the fuel stack inside the wmo tank. Should I also get a heated fuel filter before the selector valve on that side? I have no clue how fast wmo is going to cool down while going through the fuel lines... winters average -20°C around here (-4°F) with the occasional week long -40°C/F. From tank to selector valve is about 4 feet and from the valve to the lift pump another 6-7 feet.
For anyone that's overhauled their fuel delivery system for wmo, is there anything crucial I'm missing or should do differently?
