then when the engine began to stumble, switch the valve, (valves?), and continue my journey?? I could replace the clogged filter after the engine cooled?? How about a 20 gallon "day tank"??
Many thanks to one and all

As psneed said, that is done all the time. You can either add another filter, or take out what you have and put in a dual filter setup. A dual system, although more expensive, is really convenient.
A number of folks here have day tanks. I think that sounds like a great setup, but a dual Racor is a lot easier and ultimately less expensive to install.
In the meantime, figure out what the problem really is. I wouldn't expect bad fuel in your area this late in the season. I am often surprised and more often wrong.
