Default Fuel polishing system report

I drained my primary Racor filter today and have this to report on one of
the world's smallest on board fuel polishing systems:

snipped boring crap

Fuel polishing??? Whoever coined that stupid, inaccurate phrase?

It's fuel filtering. Why not call a spade a spade? The saddest thing about
it all is how diesel fuel is so unsuited to anything but being burned. It
can't be stored for any decent length of time with out growing all sorts of
crud. Pretty damned stupid for yachts where it's often stored for month upon
months. The only thing more stupid is people who try to make it sound
glamorous by calling it "fuel polishing" and bragging about their systems
that only indicate they hardly ever sail.
