If the tank is really bad, have it cleaned and checked to see if the tank is

older diesel fishing boats use this method. a second small tank that can be
easily cleaned, and the first tank pumps fuel into the aux tank and then the
engine feeds off the aux tank. Is designed so the crud will settle in the
aux / day tank.


That's a very good solution (pardon the pun) to the
problem... it does take up a bit of extra room though. If
you're cruising and buying fuel in a lot of faraway places,
having an on-board polisher & a day tank is the only way to
keep the power plant reliable.
