I have changed my Racor and Yanmar filters twice in 10 sailing seasons
and have never cleaned my fuel tank. When the old filters were removed,
they looked perfectly fine.
Last Wednesday evening, a fellow club mate with a Tartan 34 and I were
motoring side by side back to our moorings when his engine suddenly
stopped. I towed him to his mooring. The next day, he changed his fuel
filters and all was well again. He had his fuel tank cleaned about 6
years ago and he changes his filters every year before launch which he
did again this Spring.
Should have been my engine that suddenly stopped and not his......go figure!

Last year after we changed both fuel filters and then cleaned out the
tank on the 29-2. On the weekend it appears that the filters need to
be changed again. Is this normal? We have been putting in the usual
additives. What is working with your fuel systems?
