Those tanks were full of the nastiest stuff! Even big chunks of gunk.
So if you are having the slightest filter problems, I'd look at
polishing. It ain't cheap, but is good insurance.

What exactly is "Not cheap" 3-500 dollars maybe?

Build your own polishing system, using your own filters and
seperators.
Cheaper than having it done by a polishing service, and you might not
have a polishing service handy when you pick up bad fuel at some small
far away island.

Not cheap is $100 per hour with a $200 minimum plus filters.
As for do it yourself, many (probably most)people have neither the
time, inclination, or knowledge to do it. So like most problems, throw
money at it and see if it goes away!
