Looks like a clean install, but why is that necessary? How is the fuel going into your xfer tank any dirtier or more water than what’s pumped into the Oe tank?
Unless maybe you don’t have adequate filtration on the truck and you run all the fuel thru the aid tank first.
I run all my fuel through the auxiliary tank. When the truck tank gets low I just open the valve and fill up. Put more fuel in the auxiliary tank when it gets low.
That's nice, but didn't answer my question as to the necessity of it, other than you don't fill your OE tank directly, so you've just eliminated whatever quantity it holds as actual capacity.
I love the paranoia around diesel fuel and water. You said it yourself or someone did, in years and years, you've found 1/4 cup total of "water." In years and years, including plenty of fill ups out of bulk tanks or slip tanks, I've never cracked the water valve open.
Lucky? Maybe. Normal? More likely.
I'm all about good filtration, I have a 3rd gen that ate a set of injectors prematurely on OE filtration. I now have a real filter inline.
But the mfgs specs now accomplish what's necessary.
Double or triple filtering fuel to the same level, or as some do, installing a better filter upstream of a lesser filter is akin to putting on 2 or 3 rain coats before going out in the rain, just in case 1 get ripped and the other stolen before you get back inside!
