I have a question about fuel filters. The plans only show one filter, plumbed in between the selector valve and the boost pump. I was wondering if it would be a good idea to have two filters - one for each tank and plumbed in before the valve. That way, if one of the filters clogged, I could just switch over to the other tank.
Mostly, that worry comes from hanging out with a few Long-EZ and Cozy builders. The foam-and-fiberglass crowd have plenty of horror stories about construction debris from their tanks clogging their fuel systems. I think that's probably not as much of a concern for RV builders, especially those of us who bought quickbuild kits.
So? Are there any real advantages to using two filters? Or is it just more expense, weight and plumbing complexity for no real safety improvements?
Thanks,
