Capt. Moore,
If my math is correct, your consumtion is 68000/5=13600 gal/year. I have
no idea about your tankage capacity, but I guess it is something like 10
full tanks per year. With such a big turn-over rate, I am not surpriced,
that you don't have fuel-related problems. Fuel simply doesn't have the
time to get contaminated; note, that main contamination is coming from
bacteriae living in water (which acumulates due to the condensation),
and from the sedimentation of asphalt out of diesel, which needs time to
build up.
Of course, having fuel polishing system, even if you don't actually need
it, is much cheaper than suffering fuel-relating problems and consequences.

I have no personal experience, but this seems to be serious option:
