You will recall I recently underwent that bane of all rightful-thinking people, a visit to the dentist. It, of course, comes with the prerequisite stop in the cleverly named "waiting room." Happily, they had a great magazine selection - a key factor in curmudgeons deciding which dentist to patronize.
However, I once again made the mistake of opening a yachting magazine. I reported in the past that the magazine was celebrating gallons if paint for "only" $190 each and had articles on "snotters" (last Sept. and Nov. by the way). This time I hit upon an article about the importance of polishing your fuel.
What little I know about engines includes some vague allusion to there being a fuel filter somewhere in there. But polishing fuel? That required a Google. And it turns out, of course there is such a thing. And of course various boaters swear by it and a number of manufacturers sell expensive (everything having to do with boats is apparently expensive) products that do it. Fine. Let them. That's one more reason I don't need a boat.
Next time I'm going for Road & Track. I'm pretty sure cars are free of the need for polished fuel.
