Any one install one of these on their TH fuel station?I noticed that when I pump fuel into a 5 gallon jug there are flakes in the fuel. I currently only use the tank to run the generator and that has a filter. I would like to be able to use the pump to get fuel with out having contaminates in the fuel.Normally my fuel station is always full but seeing I bought it used I have a feeling the PO's may have left it less than fuel and there is some rusting happening.Thoughts/suggestions?

I am looking at a few options to do the same thing, filter the fuel from the pump. My compartment for the fuel station would not have room for the equipment you pictured but there are smaller filters or I will may go outside the compartment with filter mount and then bring line for hose back inside with plumbing. It would be simple to add a filter in the suction line but these GPI RV8 pumps can't handle that. The filter needs to be on the pump output (pressure) side. Too bad the RV builders don't install fuel filtration at the factory. Yes, it would raise the cost of manufacture but what's $50 extra gonna do to a 40 - 60 thousand dollar rig anyway???

That one looks like post pump type, I installed mine pre pump with a Fram fuel filter Here.I replumbed with 1/2 hose and fittings to the pump to help with flow.I wanted to filter the fuel before the pump to keep the crud out of the pump too. Permacool also make a nice one, it's a spin on with a petcock on the bottom to drain any water out Here. I used one of these on my jetboat.

i use a prefilter on my system. I pull from the 3/8" outlet dip tube and the drain on my tank and tee them together with 3/4". I can fill a 5 gallon can quickly, not like sucking through one 3/8" tank outlet.

Like! ;)

Even though my fuel always looks good, you just never know and could easily ruin a vacation.
