Re: [world-cruising] mucking the fuel tank...

    When through the same thing last year.

    Jim Baumgart has the right idea.

    I recommend buying a large LARGE Fram filter setup, about 10" tall if I
    remember, from your local auto supply store. Filters are cheap and the
    capacity is large. A lot cheaper than hiring a "fuel polishing" service .
    You can buy a electric fuel pump and filter set up for a lot less than
    what these services charge. Do not even think about a drill motor pump I
    have not found one that will pump diesel.

    Stir it up every now and then while pumping. Start out with about a 12
    micron filter. Finish with a finer filter.
    Have fun.
    Philip
