Fuel transfer/polishing pump

Unfortunately that fuel clogs up the filters. That is the entire problem.
Having clean fuel in the engine fuel system avoids the problem.
Just go up a size or two in your filters. The surface area difference between a
500 Racor and a 900 Racor is tremendous.
Many times on a boat with filter clogging problems, I have just installed a
larger filter system and the time between changes has gone back to normal with
no more clogging in heavy seas problems.
