Oil & Fuel draining fuel filter

[LBrown59]

1*That is a nice setup.
Mine is much less sophisticated. It has a tuthill handpump but my filter looks to be almost identical.
2*I noticed you have 3 tanks.
3*Is there a special purpose there or are all three filled with fuel?

1*Thanks.
I spent a lot of time researching studying and designing the system before I built it.
As a result it has features not found on any other rig.
2*The first Drum is a 30 gallon one that is the main one used for filling my tractors from.
The 2nd drum is a 55 gallon drum and is a reserve and is used for refilling the set up.
The 3rd drum is also 55 gallons & is not hooked up or plumbed into to the rig.It is only used if I should happen to have to go pick up fuel for the set up.
I can take that drum to have it filled and use the set up pump to pump the fuel out of it into the set ups 55 gallon drum .
3*There is a special purpose for having 3 drums.
I have posted extensively about the purpose and function of the 3 drums and how the set up operates.

Rick where this water came from is perplexing. Since this happened 30 minutes after I refilled the tank, the tank would seem to be the source. Yet I've pumped from this tank for 7 months without a problem. When I filled the tank this past winter I installed a new filter that is not supposed to pass water. I have a drain at the bottom of the tank to check for water and it runs clean, no water or debris present. I've been proactive in my efforts, but somehow it all failed me anyway.

1*

got any neighbors or kids that don't like ya in the area?

It looks more like something like this than His storage tank failing.

Ok I've come up with some good filter solutions. If any of you have any experience with any of these let me know

For your tank supply pump here is a water seperator/filter with clear bowl and a drain. you can see what is going thru the line. Its at tractor supply and norther tools about $33

For the tractor here are two choices for an additional water seperator/filter with drains. two are clear, one is metal. I found a bunch of different types most all al used in marine applications (you don't want your engine stoped due to bad fuel out in the ocean!!) these run about $75
