When I first seen these gryos, My first thought is why spin a mass of steel around for stability? I would design a system that uses the weight of fuel ~7# per gallon,spin that in a centerfuge(using helical screens and coalesing medium and you could get the benifits of fuel polishing,(you would have to have a steady flow rate through the centerfuge so not breakdown the fuel) . gryoscopic stablization and fuel polshing/water seperation all in one unit.
