There ate 3 or 4 baffles in the tank. The Racor number for the pre diesel filter is INFDW51125 the filter head is INFDH 12500 This is a 25 Micron filter 5" in diameter and 11" length. It takes a Jabsco 50 liter per minute vane pump with 1" ports. - This idea came from Ian Jenkins. My pre filter works as follows; There is a "y" valve just below the fill cap in the aft starboard cockpit locker. Straight down position goes to the tank. I only use that position for the dipstick. With the valve turned sideways the fuel drops down to the Jabsco pump mounted directly on the aft engine room bulkhead. From there it runs into the Racor filter then up to an elbow welded in the aft inspection port of the fuel tank. I also had a buzzer added to the system to remind me that the pump is running.

Can you describe in more detail how your fuel pre-filter is plumbed, what type of pump you have installed etc. I looked at the picture but it isn't clear to me how it flows from the fuel filler port into the tank.
