[PUP] PUP:PMM fuel polishing

[Ross Anderson]

I use a polishing system and it works well but like a lot of
suggestions on this blog it depends on how you intend to use your
boat. If you are passaging far and wide through third world, and some
not so third world, areas it is a safety devise. If however you are
coastal U.S. where you can control supply better and are on a budget
then I'd pass. Traveled many thousands of miles and didn't need it but
then ..... God Bless - Ross 10&2
