I would carry extra filters, and fill with fresh fuel.
Pegasus sat for a couple of years when I bought her. I didn't have any
issues with the fuel until I got into rough water, and stired up the fuel.
Now I change the filters once a year and have no issues.

Hi this issue is a concern for me as well. Now, on the boat we're buying, we
ran the engine for probably 2 - 3 hours throughout the weekend. Between moving
it to the lift and back during the survey and then out for a sea trial we never
shut it off and the engine ran beautifully the whole time.
On Pegasus I have a system that alows me to pump fuel through my filters,
then back to the tank. Not sure I would call it a fuel polisher. I put it in
after spending a hour trying to bleed the filters while under way. I have a
valve before the engine andafter the filters, and one that
It just occurred to me that no one replied with a DIY fuel cleaning method. Has
anyone built their own polisher? I have considered a two filter system with a
bypass polisher but haven't had any issues and I don't use much fuel either.
It isn't complicated in theory.

little bit of cutting and some mounting bits and it was all done. Not a

I've been fortunate to not have the problems which you are facing however I
have decided that when it is time for a new tank it will be 2 instead of
just one.

situation. I took a sample to the gas barge and it was contaminated beyond
belief. Took out the fuel that was black in some places and then murky
