Big Run is a long range cruiser that can carry 700 gallons of fuel in 2 tanks. As you use fuel and the fuel levels drop in the tank, and if you are on rough seas, the fuel has more of a chance to scour the walls of the tank and break the crud free. Big Run was built in 1983 and it's hard to say if the tanks have ever been cleaned which is why we have an ongoing fuel polishing program. Back on Christmas day I changed the Racor fuel filter, and after 300 hours and 4 occasions of rough seas, the crud in the fuel tanks got the better of the fuel filter.
