Gasoline Source
As you all know, or should by now, I "topped off" the port tank by tossing the garden hose into it and turned on the water. I have a fuel/gas polisher coming next Thursday, 08/10, and I am leaving on a 10 day trip Sunday, and have 6 spare gas filters/water separators. Although it would be a PITA, I was thinking of running the 10 days we are on vacation, on the starboard tank, and have the port engine just draw from the aft "reserve" tank. That way, I won't have to worry about changing filters while we are underway if a problem with the gas polishing job comes up. The company said I would have to change the filter 2 or 3 times after they removed the water and cleaned the gasoline. I would miss the extra 100 gallons of gas, but getting gas at each port would not be so bad, just expensive.
Thoughts? Ideas? Yea? Nay? I still feel like a stupid $hit, but what is done is done.

Re: Gasoline Source
Do you use the aux tank regularly??, if so seems ok to me, but if these guys do the job right, then why can't you run as normal ??
Oh and to add, got to the marina one day and the staff there that gas up boats all day every day, filled the water tank on a rather large boat with gas.....expensive and dangerous repair there.......yikes....

Re: Gasoline Source
Don't know if they're all set up this way for 35, 39, etc. but I've seen a few generator spin-on fuel filters installed in front of the generators down low between the inboard stringers.[image][/image]
