Stus-List Re: Fuel Polishing System
In an earlier time i did some investigative work on the foils of HMCS Bras d’Or (FHE 400) which were made of mar aging steel and suffered from stress corrosion cracking. That motorized ship achieved very high speeds and proved the benefit of foiling. These AC75 boats have very special foils below and above decks. And there is a lot of match racing stuff goin on at 30-40 kts. Incredible really.

Well if you can’t see the bottom good with a mirror or boroscope then if you can empty the tank and remove it why not do a steam clean and at least visual examination and maybe a pressure test.

The fuel polishing trucks that come around have very high pressure pumps that can break loose a lot of crud. The little pump from the generator is nowhere close to being able to do that and even the high pressure pumps can’t always get all the gunk loose. That said – the idea is if you are starting with a clean tank, keeping the fuel moving and filtering it prevents the gunk in the first place.

I did a similar fuel exchange. I let the tank run down during the season. Then I pumped out about ten gallons into jerry cans and gave them to my neighbor who has oil heat. My boat has an electric booster pump so it was pretty easy to pull the return hose from the tank fitting and stick it in a jerry can. I pulled the fuel gage sensor and the bottom of tank looked pretty clean so I bought fresh fuel from a trucker's station and refilled the tank. The engine started easier since and I found comfort knowing I got rid of the old diesel.

Unless you clean the gunk out of the tank, no amount of new or old (but polished) fuel will prevent gunk from gumming up your system somewhere-pick-up tube in tank or some downstream filter or separator. Getting rid of the old fuel can be an issue of course unless the yard wants it and will pump it out. In my case, I pumped it into ~7 5 gal jerry jugs and dumped them at the county fuel/oil disposal site. The jugs were about $10 each so I had to invest about $70 in them. Off road diesel is about $2.50/gallon so it cost ~$90 for NEW fuel for a total cost of $160, not counting the fuel cost that I dumped. Polishing may make sense when the amount of fuel is substantial as it might be in power boat diesels or other large diesel engines where the fuel tanks might hold 100's of gallons.
