    I use a Baha filter - they come in several sizes - with the larger one
    filtering faster because it has more area. Not fast either but the one I
    use (mid-size) is not so slow either. Still it's not fast compared to what
    the fuel pump can put out - but I think that is the nature of filtering that
    it is going to slow it down. Believe me - having gotten bad fuel more than
    once it's a worthwhile trade-off!!!!!!

    The other alternative is to put in a fuel polishing system into your fuel
    system - I did this and leave it running when the boat is docked - since the
    fuel moving this cuts down on algea growing in addition to cleaning the
    fuel.

    It wasn't very hard to do - added a fuel lift pump and some valves about 6
    years ago- the hardest part was scratching my head figuring out the how-to's
    of where to put things. There was a recent thread in this forum not too
    long ago that discussed such things in detail.
