Thanks Matt for your reaction.Peter- Under normal circumstances, my filters do not look like that. That said, I have polishers and I use a bit fuel so it is always fresh. In the past, I have done shock treatments when I bought a used boat. It's a seemingly endless process that involves dozens of filters. If the dirt and residue bother you (and it would bother me), I would recommend calling a professional fuel polisher to come service your tanks. From that point forward, follow all recommended procedures for storage, i.e. full tanks, maintenance additives, etc. There are many who would simply keep filter elements on board and change them as necessary. That route along w/ some additives would likely result in clean fuel as well if you use a lot of fuel.
Good luck.
I made a simple system, and let it run for 1 week now constantly on both tanks (so 2 weeks total).
This works perfect!
Mounted a smaller pump (40GPH) and filtered my total fuel a lot of times now.
The racor 500MA did a perfect job with a 2 micron filter.
It was black!
Now I mounted a new filter and this one stays clean :thumbsup:
