Well, we get the majority of our red from Itchen marine and although I don't want to dismantle the boat to look into the top of the tanks, we have not had a clogged filter (yet - what a risk to say so).

Also our boat has a central sump that both engines feed from ( I know - not total duplication and independence of systems but doesn't everyone fill both tanks at the same time) the previous owner was convinced he had starvation and so had it put in as a settler tank. This has a drain tap and we have found it only needs draining twice a year when we get 10-15ml sl brown water and 30ml of sl cloudy diesel. the rest of it is fine. We have never had to change a filter between annual services and only drained the primary filter bowls twice in 6 years.

Maybe Itchen Marine has the cleanest diesel around! In which case thanks + publicity to them.
