Diesels loves lots O'air in addition to clean fuel Keeps air temperature in cockpit locker temperate where the refrigerator compressor resides. More efficient.

I know vaporized cooking fat will. Don’t most of the fuel docks ask you to shut down the engine and run the fan while fueling? I had never thought of it as an air supply for the engine.

I just today removed the rusted out ignition-protected blower in the stern of my boat, which looked original. It had been disabled a while ago by a prior owner (had no hoses attached, and the electrical wires aren't live) but never completely removed. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxfHpwssU_6NdlFtMXJRRTdIZzg/view?usp=sharing West Marine has a page saying blowers are a must for gasoline, less so for diesel but sometimes still advisable for air supply to the engine. But our engine compartments are so huge and leaky (compared to many more modern boat designs - like a Jeanneau with an insulated below-companionway-stairs engine installation) that it seems quite unnecessary. Maybe that was the thinking of the times in the 80's? -Patrick1984 C&C LF38Seattle, WA On Thu, Dec 24, 2015 at 8:27 AM, <cnc-list-requ...@cnc-list.com> wrote: ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Nate Flesness <nateflesn...@gmail.com> To: "cnc-list@cnc-list.com" <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> Cc: Date: Wed, 23 Dec 2015 16:59:18 -0600 Subject: Re: Stus-List Proper Blower Installation - 30 mki My 1980 30-1 has two hoses connected to the stern vents. One hose is blower exhaust, the other runs forward to just aft of the engine and sits there - air intake. I turn the tops accordingly. Very likely this is original. The hose diameter fits tightly on the vent base, so 3" I.D.?
