Re: A get home trick for dirty fuel

Capt. Wil,

Could you please explain for the list how your polishing system will clean a
tank without the tank contents being stirred up in a seaway?  I believe that
you do all your polishing at the dock.  Does the high capacity pump agitate
the fuel sufficiently during the polishing and therefore get out the "stuff"
that is on the bottom of the tank?  I have the polishing pump you use and
will install it next spring.  I am hoping that the system will remove the
crud in my tanks as it is a major job to clean them manually (it requires
removing both my fuel tanks because of the lack of room to access the
inside).

Thanks,

Herb Hoffman

The described system will clean up a dirty tank and keep it clean.  If you
install it, I don't think you will need to clean your tank again, ever.
