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.

Personally, I would siphon out all the old fuel (give to a friend who heat with

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

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

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.

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.
