Re: Stus-List Losing Water

Re: Stus-List Losing Water

Loss of coolant can sometimes be attributed to a failing head gasket. Look for milky engine oil, or evidence of the relieving through the coolant reservoir, and inspect the head gasket externally. If the gasket is failing, allowing coolant into the cylinder, then when the engine is running, it

Stus-List Losing Water

Water in my heat exchanger keeps disappearing, very slowly, even when the engine hasn't been running for weeks at a time. There is no evidence of water under the engine. Hot water heater is only a few years old. Could the heat exchanger be leaking into the raw water side of the cooling system?

Yes. They can be dead ends. That is the way the system was designed by the engine manufacturer. Owners simply steal water from the inlet and outlet side of circuit. There are usually plugs where the pipe nipples tap into the engine. I have a few pictures and a video. I'll see about sharing

Re: Stus-List Yanmar cooling system and water heater bypass

If you want a bypass for the water heater, I suggest you use 2 isolation valves on each leg and a bypass between the two legs. A total of 3 identical ball valves would be my choice. This could accomplished with two 3-way valves as well but 3-way valves can lead to confusion and usually cost
