Fuel purification

[SailingDoc]

Apologies if there have been recent threads on this - the search engine is playing up.
I'm interested to know if anyone out there has tried the Dieselcraft fuel purification system - as seen at the So'ton Boat Show. Consists of a separator tank and/or a 'stabiliser' which seems to 'induce a small electrical charge' into the fuel. No filters involved - though one would be daft to actually omit the primary filter. Sounds a little too good to be true, but if it can actually disperse the diesel-bug sludge and take it out of circulation, then maybe it'd be worth considering.

G'day Brian,

This system will replace your filters but will extend their life. However they are based on 1 inch fuel lines and designed for for over 300 US Gallons per hour.

Comprising 2 components, the first is a centrifuge to remove water and larger particles as used on many commercial vessels almost all navy ships.

The second part is a Strontium Magnet, this is thought to improve flow and filtration by using magnetics to align particles, the evidence for this can be a bit confusing depending on the source.

Hope this helps.

The Dieselcraft range covers all sizes from 1/4" (5-29 GPH) upwards, so it would suit almost any craft. Question is, can anyone out there vouch that the magnet actually does anything (useful) ?
