Stus-List Re: diesel engine air filter

[Dennis C. via CnC-List]

I bought an air filter from K for my Universal 25XPB.  Measure the
diameter of your intake.  One of these should fit:

However, I've been using my supply of OEM filters and have never installed
the K one.

Stus-List Yanmar 2 GMF

[Robert Abbott via CnC-List]

Dave,

The truth be known, genius here 2 or 3 years ago took the old filter out 
and it had pretty much had been disintegratednot having a new Yanmar 
air filter, but the old metal ring, I took a piece of a sponge and cut 
it to fit into the metal ring and thought it was all O.K.   The sponge 
will filter the air.    Right?


Well no, it did work for a while but a genuine Yanmar air filter works 
better.as I found out.


There, I confessedit was me that caused the problem.   The new 
Yanmar air filter cost $45 here which seems like a lot for a simple 
device.  But $45 is not a lot when the pain, angst, and disruption of 
one's sailing season is in jeopardy.

Stus-List vented loops

[CHARLES SCHEAFFER via CnC-List]

Learned the hard way how to test vented loops.

I was changing engine hoses and came upon an original, 33 year old, bronze, 
vented loop for the engine cooling water.  It's located between the heat 
exchanger and the injection elbow of the exhaust riser.  It's purpose is to 
break a siphon and prevent water flooding the engine and the boat when the 
engine is off.  Mine was filled with scale and no longer operational. 

The following comes from info included with a new Forespar vented loop.  To 
test a vented loop, you blow air through the vent from outside into the tubing, 
through the "duck bill" rubber thing, and that's it.  If air won't penetrate, 
it's clogged and should be cleaned.  If the thing leaks, it probably needs 
cleaning or a new rubber duck bill.

I replaced the Forespar rubber duckbill, $15, on my bilge pump hose and I 
replaced the entire loop fitting $44 on the engine hose using a Forespar 5/8" 
vented loop.  Now both of my vented loops use the same duckbill vent and have 
the same size retaining nut so a simple clear two foot length of 3/4" hose can 
be pushed over the fitting to facilitate testing either vented loop.

I have to add that I never had a problem in twenty years of ownership and 
ingnored these items until I started replacing hoses.  I'd be glad to hear 
anyone else's ideas on this.

[CHARLES SCHEAFFER via CnC-List]

Hey guys,

A new air filter for my Universal M4-30 cost $17 and which seems expensive for 
a simple ring of foam rubber sown like a bracelet.  I removed the old oil caked 
foam from the little screen and cleaned it up with solvent before installing 
the new one and had to flatten the venturi to get a good fit.  The parts guy 
said it was more of a silencer than a filter.  Anybody know of a better air 
filter for a diesel engine like mine?

Good to know.  Ill check my 30 hp Yanmar.  Last sumner running at WOT for 1/2 
hour the motor shut down.  It restarted easily and ran fine.  I cleaned the 
fuel strainer but found no issues.  Ill replace the air filter.
