So a frustrating day this was. I tried to remove the existing fuel lines and run new ones to the adaptor a installed last week but I could not budge then.

You can usually pry them open by putting the flat end of a screwdriver under one of the knuckles and turning it. Alternatively you can buy a clamping tool made for the job, but if you’re only using them on three clamps……………

I was planning on fitting the Beta kit, but it goes on the forward end of the engine, a good place for it on most boats, but hidden under the battery box on Jazzcat, and I'm a great believer in having fuel filters easily accessible. Can anyone see any disadvantages to having the fine filter in the line just after the main filter/ water trap?

Second musing: Using a fine filter as the main one, and not bothering with the secondary might mean it's more likely to clog, but having a pair in parallel where they're easy to change would mean this is much less of an issue. Thoughts?
