Default Fuel filter clogging

Roger,

I have had problems with clogged fuel filters a couple of times over the
years. Usually when I have not changed the filter at the beginning of the
season. You are right the first thing that happens is that the engine looses
power at higher rpm's but when you throttle back she runs OK.

I have installed a two filter switchable system with vacuum gauges that
works great. On a recent trip from Rockland straight to Nantucket the first
filter got clogged and I was able to switch to the second while underway
with no problem.
