Fuel scrubbing

[Tomahawk]

I am looking after a friends gin palace whilst he is a bit poorly. Turns out it has a lot of water in the fuel. I pumped most of the water out yesterday, but obviously I am concerned about fuel bug. The tank is almost full so a lot of fuel so far too much to simply throw away. I would rather treat it with biocide and fet it filtered.

I recall seeing someone with a mobile fuel scrubbing kit many years ago. Obviously looked on google. Does anyone know of the chap?

It's easy and cheap enough to rig own polishing system if you want to avoid the doubtless huge cost of having someone else do it, but quite unnecessary unless you actually have fuel bug.
If there's no bug contamination present and you treat with biocide you're fine - after all there's no point in polishing clean fuel is there?

How to tell if there is fuel bug?

Slime-blocked filters. Red/brown sludgy deposits and cloudy fuel/water when you pumped the bottom of the tank out. (does it really not have a sump-drain?)
If the water and fuel you pump out is clear and clean you almost certainly don't have bug and a preventative dose of biocide is probably all that's required.
Of course, it's all there, chapter and verse via Google...

If everybody followed the (obvious) "search Google" suggestion the YBW Forum (in its entirety) would be more be even more dead than it is now. Perhaps thanks for small mercies?

PS. I agree with your advice.
