Can anyone comment on a 24 volt pump they have had good luck with?
Most folks seem to go with small engine-type fuel pumps (e.g. Walbro). With
two 1000 gallon (4000 litre) tanks, that was not going to cut it for me. I
went with a centrifugal pump, a Groco CP-20. This is rated at about 10 GPM,
in practice I find it does almost exactly 10 litres a minute through parallel
Racor 1000 filters. It's controlled by an 30 minute Intermatic timer switch,
allowing me to transfer and/or polish up to 300 litres at a time.
The centrifugal pump must be lower than the tank, but I've had excellent
results so far. For more details see http://www.islandeagle.net/systems/fuel
