[Max Soto]

Two racors?? Tha'st a buce setup!!

Those fuel pumps are supposed to be very reliable.  Have you been cleaning the screen filter that goes inside those pumps????

I have replaced 3 fuel pumps in the six years I’ve owned Peregrine (I have no idea why so many) this last time we just finished a 12 hour delivery from Victoria and the next day when I started the engine at the dock, the pump failed within 1 minute.  Not wanting it to happen while cruising or at an inopportune time the following project.   I installed a second fuel pump, two valves and a switch for current.  Now with the turning of those two valves and a toggle of the switch the second fuel pump takes over.   I’m having a plaque made up that shows the valve and switch positions and plan to mount it just above the fuel filters.  Pretty sweet.
