Bought a boat with 1000+ gallons of diesel fuel in fiberglass intregal tanks (900 gal and 400 gal) that is 3 years old. The boats only use has been an occasional engine start and run over the 3 years. The twin Yanmar 75hp engines ran fine during the sea trial and have had a complete engine service (all fluids and filters impeller etc.) The certified and respected Yanmar mechanic that did the engine service said to treat he fuel with FFP Plus 8 to raise the cetane level and just polish the fuel and burn it. The boat has a Racor fuel polisher and duel filters system for both engine and Genset. Anyone have any other words of wisdom to consider?
