Hi all, first time replying to anything here, no idea if I'm doing this
right or not.
This was our first summer with a 1989 37/40+, it has a Webasto diesel
heater mounted in the locker with the engine controls, installed by the
previous owner, have never tried it, assuming all works but we have no use
for it and will be removing it as soon as I figure out how to tackle it,
but was also installed with a separate fuel tank in the same locker, I
think it was suppose to be 15 gal but it has its own fill and the tank is
also tied into the main fuel fill hose with a shut off valve, I might even
consider leaving that tank there as a reserve but no idea yet, anyway it
appears it can be done on these boats and once I get the beast out of there
I'll be looking to get rid of it if anybody is interested.
