[PUP] PUP:PMM fuel polishing

The fuel polishing debate interests me. Steve D'Antonio of Passagemaker
Magazine, whom I have come to respect, is a strong advocate of fuel
polishing. Moreover, he says the high flows of this kind of system require a
larger fuel pump and larger piping; so you need to polish with a separate
system in addition to the normal fuel filtering system.

The largest part of the argument against a polishing system is a perceived
minimal return on investment. The polishing system is expensive and there is
(almost always) a way around needing it.

Instead of arguing the pros and cons of polishing, why don't we brainstorm a
creative way for our PMM to get both polishing and final filtering done
without duplicating systems?
