Yes. The Racor filter should protect you from the majority of the gunk, to the point that your secondary filter (the one you have) should feel unemployed.
If you suspect the quality of the fuel, carrying a spare element makes a lot of sense.

In the end, it was just air and not any gunk that I could see inside the tank. That said, I’ll get some of the biocide mentioned and worry a bit less. I bled up to the injectors and then flipped them off and cranked for a few seconds. After that, flipped the injectors back on and it fired right up. I also realized that my engine doesn’t have a primary Racor fuel filter/separator. It came this way and does have the secondary Yanmar one on the engine. Would adding a Racor be a good idea?

Its not a hard job, but it can be a bit messy. have lots of oil diapers on hand. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ub0zfW42mVo Doug On Thu, Oct 17, 2019 at 9:02 AM Derek McLeod via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com<mailto:cnc-list@cnc-list.com>> wrote: Hi, Any suggestions as to troubleshooting my Yanmar 2GM that cut out on me in rough seas the other day? It was windy and confused waves near the shore of the Toronto island. I was motoring out of the channel, rounded into the lake and it died and wouldn’t restart. This happened a couple years ago when debris was kicked up in the bottom of the diesel tank. I had the marina tackle it last time and would like to take care of it myself.
