Cheap insurance is to PRE FILTER the fuel as it is pumped into your tank.
A Baja style filter is fine as it will catch water and any particles that may be present.
Loads slower than dumping in the 2 inch fill and 100GPM setup at the fish boat docks , but far better.
Gave a great Rybofitch filter made of Monel , from the old days that was found at a flea market.
We make a point of fueling with it at all smaller fuel stops.
Up to a cup of water found at times, with the std 20gallon fill on our sail boat.
Industry specifications are great , but that is seldom what is pumped into your tank.
