Today I toped off my fuel tanks for the winter season. Since I use the boat about 2 hours every two weeks over the winter I may not have to do it again for a while. On the same dock friends of mine with a Kady Krogen took over one thousand gallons. They went to Alaska this summer. I notice that a lot of the trawlers with big tanks don't go long distance every year. I know that some have circulating filtration but still that's a lot of fuel to sit around ageing. Over a couple of years if only a fraction of the fuel is renewed each season the engines have to be running on suboptimal fuel. This of course does not apply to the boats constantly on the move. What are some of the strategies used if any to handle this other than polishing which may not stop all the ageing effects?
