I understand why a person buying a coach that has been sitting for sometime would want to change the fuel lines and many other things but I don't understand why we would drop the tanks unless there is a specific issue or reason to. Is it not easier to just add an inline filter and change it often until any contaminants would be caught by the filter? Obviously if there was water in the fuel or the unit is not running well and all other things seems to check out then, yeah, i get it, but it seems in my research that it's just an automatic "must do". Can you guys shed some light on what I'm missing? Pardon my ignorance.
