Well after talking to a couple folks who do this and reading more about it...I am going to just have the fuel that is in there pumped out and disposed of properly and start with a full tank of fresh fuel. I think some of the fuel that is in there has been in there for more than a year or two, perhaps longer. I know some fresh fuel was added just before my sea trial but this thing sat around for a while in the hot sun. The last thing I want is to have all the new filters get clogged up with contaminants from the old fuel.
The cleaning/polishing thing sounds like a good idea but I think some of the fuel that was in there is kinda stale and in order for my own peace of mind I am just going to remove it all and start over with quality marine diesel.

Think spring, it is coming
