Years ago I installed a Racor filter/separator in a Perkins diesel in a Vega project. I was burning Mexican diesel that was absolutely horrible - more like pea soup than anything else. I used an electric pump to bring the fuel to the Racor which then went to the normal filter. The system also used an aux tank and the fuel was filtered as it was transferred into the primary tank. Bad fuel can definitely ruin your whole day.
In contrast I've now got 65-70k miles on my current pre filter and primary filter with no loss of pressure but I use a known good local source and on the road only use name brand truck stop diesel.
