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.
