Default Fuel filter clogging

That's true and fairly well known but it's a different problem.

Considering how promptly stuff started showing up in my filter bowl after I
started puting in StarTron, I think it must be doing a pretty good job of
moving the stuff into suspension and into the fuel intake. This is also a
sailboat the routinely heels 15 - 20 degrees so the tank gets pretty well
mixed. Thge slow build up from stuff moved into suspension is what I'm
concerned about tracking. You can't do much about the sudden clogs except
be ready to change filters in less than optimum conditions.
