I also can recommend Phasor. I had the 15kw unit. In 7 years of cruising 6 months a year it provided faultless performance. It was also noted for being the quietest unit available.

Thanks for the info, sounds like I can tap into the bottom for the fuel polisher. As always it's not particularly in the most accessible place! Looks like I'll have to get the mirror out and research a little further. I did not want to start playing with it till I had identified it.
