Norm, thanks for the info and I think I will install a polishing line like
you suggest. BTW, what kind of hose/tubing do you recommend for the
polishing system. My dual Racors are on the back wall of the engine room
about 20 feet from the drain plug?
However, my immediate problem (& I didn't fully articulate it) is that the
lowest fitting (drain) is a plug that I have to remove in order to install a
valve & barb that I can attach a hose to drain off the water. I believe
that I have to empty the tank in order to do this.
To Empty the tank I first tried from the deck fill hole and could not get
the hose through. Now I have removed the top sight tube fitting and should
be able to insert a hose in there to transfer fuel to other tanks. I will
let you know how I make out.
