Diesel fuel tanks in boats should
be cleaned every few years anyway to prevent the release of the biofilm

contamination and dont physically remove (scrub) the particle
deposition from the walls .... a heavy sea state WILL do it for you.

Good advice for sure Rich, and I know you have professional experience
in this area. You fail to mention however what us poor guys with no
physical access to the tanks are supposed to do.

fresh Racors, vacuum guages, parallel filter valves, due diligence,
etc)
