Thanks to Mark Pearson for picture loading help!
Here's the DIY fuel polisher I spoke about. After cleaning my tank through the fuel gauge hole in the flange (using the copper tube seen in the pics) - I never had to change another Racor 500 filter or engine filter. But the big filter in the polisher was a throwaway! I apparently got most/all of the plant life and sludge out. Then used a diesel biocide and Lucas diesel fuel conditioner to add lubricity.
The pump is a Reverso oil change pump "sucking through the big Racor 900 canister. Once the cleaned fuel exits the pump, I led it back to the deck fill.
This would be a perfect loaner tool to go between Morgan owners if someone would build one. This isn't mine, and apparently not for sale (I did ask). Give a diesel clean fuel & oil, they'll run forever (almost).
