This is my first boat with dual filters, but I understand and appreciate the concept of being able to instantly switch to a new filter if one becomes blocked while underway.
The problem I have is that I'm getting growth in the bowl of the standby filter and no way to remove it without sending it to the engine. Not wanting to do that, I've disassembled the dirty bowl and removed the growth, but this is not practical to do regularly. The other alternative seems to be to periodically alternate filters to keep fresh fuel running through both sides, but this seems to defeat the idea of having a clean standby filter waiting to be used.
How have you all dealt with this?
I have a fuel polishing system on board that is keeping the fuel in the tanks clean but this system is plumbed separately from the fuel delivery system.
Thank you for any suggestions or advice you can offer.
Regards,
Bob
