Fuel tank cleaning

[Vic K]

FYI: A lot also depends on where you buy your fuel. I stay away from any supply point that takes fuel from an exposed tank. Many cruisers I know take the first half gallon or so in a bucket to examine the fuel before it goes in the tank. I like to buy from the source that sells the most fuel; commercial is the best as you know they have a high turn over.

As an addition to this 'clean your tank' thread, I'll inject my recent experience

The smaller Racors with the metal spin on filter elements use pretty expensive replacement elements - $25 to $30 each while the 500 uses a $10 element & has a much higher capacity

I just purchased a small Racor filter for the day tank. When I cross reference the Racor 12T filter to a Wix, it is available on Amazon Prime with no shipping charge for $17. In bulk at other sources $13. Wix has a cross reference program on their home page.
