The dealer recommended a valve to shut off all fuel to the filters,
which you saw. I didn't see a particular need for the valve there, but
didn't see any problem with having it, either. I have valves by the
filter itself, so additional valves on the manifold would be
redundant.
The pump is supposed to allow diesel to flow even when it is off. So
bypassing it just because I don't want to run it isn't necessary.
Both the pump and the Racor see only prefiltered fuel, not the
unknown quality fuel coming right from the tanks. So problems there,
based on gunky fuel, should be minimized.
