Loren, do you remember how to handle differences in fuel hose inner-diameter (ID) and port size? For instance, the Facet Cube fuel pump has 1/8" NPT ports and the Racor 500MA has 3/4"-16 UNF. I'd guess having some common adaption to the same ID fuel hoses would be advisable. The nearest I can come find is barbs that will get me 3/8" ID on one side and 5/16" ID on the other. Can I just use 3/8" ID hose and double hose clamps to snug everything up on the barbs? I'm having trouble finding references for 'best practices'.
The R24S is a 2μm filter and that's installed as a primary between the tank and the pump. Was like that when I took possession of the boat last summer and I can only assume it's probably been in this configuration for a decade or more.
For reference, the Racor spin-on filters are color and letter coded for size of the filtration capability [1][2]:
