Hi this issue is a concern for me as well. Now, on the boat we're buying, we ran the engine for probably 2 - 3 hours throughout the weekend. Between moving it to the lift and back during the survey and then out for a sea trial we never shut it off and the engine ran beautifully the whole time. My concern is that, they claim the boat never left the dock over last 5 years, the fuel in the tank registers 3/4 full, and could very well be very old. The surveyor showed little concern and just said to top it off and carry extra filters.
With that information, is there anything more I could/should do regarding fuel? If the fuel were contaminated in some way would it have become apparent during the time we ran the engine? Would adding another filter assembly, in line, be a good idea?
