Re: Stus-List Dirty fuel?

Like Dennis says, there's no one way to do this. My 2 cents on Fuel Polishing. Fuel worried me a great deal when I bought my boat since it had sat for two years. I don't motor much so the fuel sits and gets older each year. I have an 18 gallon tank, so I got me three 5 gallon jerry cans

Re: Stus-List Dirty fuel?

Is there a way to tell if air has gotten in the filter housing? I have a Racor 200FG that has a clear bowl. It leaks a small amount of air and once or twice a season the engine will die because of it. It usually doesn't die on flat water. I've figured out that the bubble of air gets trapped in

Hi Gary, I think I'll eventually donate my boat, so I'm interested in the process of your organzation. Can you send me an application or what you require? Can you send me a list of boats that sold this year and the prices fetched? Thanks Chuck Resolute 1990 C 34R Broad Creek, Magothy

Re: Stus-List [EXTERNAL] Dirty fuel?

If you have a problem already, the biocide is a bit too late. It is a prevention, not a cure. Also, it seems that most water that gets inside the tank is either from the dirty fuel or from the water ingress through the vent or fill tube (the O-ring on the filler cap is usually gone). Marek

Re: Stus-List Dirty fuel?

I had same problem until I had the tank repaired and cleaned. The blockage was happening between the tank and the primary filter. I had to blow in the hose to clear. Yuk! I bought a soccer ball pump that worked well. Later, installed a squeeze bulb to prime the system. A secondary benefit of

Re: Stus-List Dirty fuel?

Hi, I had a very similar problem last year, although it cost me a tow to figure it out. Eventually we had the tank taken out and cleaned. It wasn’t cheap, but it gives me a lot more confidence for next year. Cheers, Dennis Dennis Peters dennis.k.pet...@gmail.com > On Nov 14, 2018, at

Re: Stus-List Dirty fuel?

+1 on everything Charlie said. I installed a vacuum gauge on Touche' years ago. Great decision. Let's me run the filter elements much longer than before. I am pessimistic about fuel polishing. Unless the vendor has a super dooper high pressure rig that can blast the corners and really suck

Stus-List Dirty fuel

I had a challenge a few years ago when I bought the boat with excess water in the fuel tank and lines.I actually removed the fuel tank completely and took it to a shop that steam cleaned the fuel tank or whatever it is they do to clean a fuel tank. There was a fair amount of crap on the

If it’s an IRS-qualified 501(c)(3), yes. There are organizations out there that are set up to accept donated boats and cars specifically for tax deduction purposes. They sell them for whatever they can get and use the proceeds for charitable purposes. I would think you could donate this boat

Re: Stus-List Dirty fuel?

Re: Stus-List Dirty fuel?

Years ago, while returning some distance from a regatta, my engine decided to stop. I started it up and found it would run at about 1/2 throttle. Motored that way for 45 miles. Took the Racor primary fuel filter apart and I was shocked that any fuel could have gone through at all! Solid black.

Re: Stus-List [EXTERNAL] Re: Dirty fuel?

If your fuel line goes tank >filter>pump>engine, get TWO vacuum gauges, one at each end of the filter. Vacuum on the pump side of the filter = clogged filter. Vacuum on both gauges = clogged tank inlet. There is nothing magical about Racor gauges except the nice colored scale, you can use cheap

Re: Stus-List Dirty fuel?

Crud has built up in tank over the years and will block the pickup. Thats why it starts again. Crud drop off pickup. Whatever ya gotta do get rid of the fuel and clean the tank of the crud. Everything else is a half measure (I have not heard good things about fuel polishing) and doing it

Get a vacuum gauge! I have found that to be an invaluable tool to diagnose fuel system issues. Examples here:

The other day when motoring the engine quit when pulling into the marina. Got it going again to make the slip but then it quit again. Repeat a few times. We thought the most likely culprit was the new fuel gauge not being configured correctly and had run out of diesel. Second culprit may be

I just put on a Garhauer traveler. Called Guedio at Garhauer and he figured out the size I needed, plus matched existing mount bolt holes, and how and where lines would exit. All said and done it was still cheaper than repairing my 25 year old harken traveler. Doug Mountjoy Sv Rebecca Leah

I am looking at replacing my traveler system to a Garhauer 40-2sp system. I presently have the sheet going from the traveler thru blocks to the mast, and back to a winch on the cabin top. It’s slow and isn’t great for fine adjustments. Does anyone find any issues that would nix my idea?
