I like this idea Doug. It is similar to one that I have had but not implemented. I do have a small 12v fuel pump and have used it to "turn over" the fuel. I ran hose from the outlet of the racor to the pump and then hose out the window to the fuel fill port on deck. Used and "filter funnel" at the fill port to try and scrub water from the fuel. When I was done I changed the racor. In theory I'd like to do this annually as part of the end of season maintenance. Since i have not had trouble and did not have any surprises with the filter funnel it has become low priority and perceived as overkill.
