Lightman,
I certainly take no offense to your comments, and I respect your opinions (that's why I posted this in the first place, so people can offer their opinions). I did look at the Stanadyne (another outstanding unit) but forgot to list it. I basically eliminated it because it's easier to get Fleetguard filters than Stanadyne filters around here. And, honestly, once I saw that Davco model I was enamored with it!
You are absolutely correct when you say I could just plumb in a 2-micron filter in series and add a pusher pump. However, I am rather a bit obsessed and I love "big" construction projects.
So, I decided I wanted to redesign the entire fuel delivery system to use "standard" fittings like NPT and AN rather than the stock components which are basically dealer-only parts. With this setup everything is industry standard and hence available worldwide with ease.
Finally, it's my hope that the system turns out great and I "inspire" others to press on with similar modifications. I am of the opinion that what comes from the factory is meerly a "suggestion" of one possible way of doing things. In particular, it's usually an example of the "cheapest" way of doing things. Since I'm unconstrained by bean counters, I can build a fuel delivery system fit for an F-16!
