Derek,
The typical recommendation is to use a Racor filter of a larger pore size
(30 or 10 micron) to act as a pre-filter to the engine filter (2 micron).
Most of the racor housings that you will find are rated at many times the
required flow rate (15 gpm VS 1 gpm) and as such a smaller pore size

Hi,
This video was very helpful to get the air bled out of the system. In the end,

I’ll get some of the biocide mentioned and worry a bit less. I bled up to the
injectors and then flipped them off and cranked for a
Make sure you cut open the rubber plug on top of the gauges or their readings
will be way off. Joe. Coquina

I just bought vacuum gauges through Amazon, they are liquid-filled (to reduce
shake from vibration) and are 0- 30 hg. Watch when you're buying them though,
as many are vacuum and pressure gauges combined, and some are pressure only,
and they all show up with you are looking for vacuum gauges.
I second the Biobor JF !
It's got to be good if it's Biobor Jean-Francois (JF) Lol
All kidding aside, I've used it religiously and my fuel looks like
green-ish maple syrup. Nice and clear. Not only in the Racor but It's
been checked by shining a flashlight in the fuel tank inspection port,

The yard did remove the tank and disposed of the diesel and weird floaty gunk.
I remember taking a picture of it with my phone I suppose through
Put a vacuum gauge on the filter. Clog = high vacuum and air or free
flowing fuel = no vacuum.
I might possible even have one, I'll look around. Donation to Stu if I
can find it.

If your fuel level is on the low side (say less than 1/2 tank), you may be
picking up some air
If your fuel level is on the low side (say less than 1/2 tank), you may be
picking up some air in the fuel which will definitely kill a diesel. In my
case (35 MK II) the fuel pickup was at the starboard end of the tank and
rolling to port introduced air and the engine would quit. Took me years
Check your fuel pick up tube (in the tank). The debris (gunk) could have fouled
it, as well.

Thanks everyone for supporting this list with your contributions. Each and
every one is greatly appreciated. If you want to support the list -
Derek,
Sounds like your fuel filters are plugged.
here is a good video of changing your fuel filters and bleeding the fuel
system. Its not a hard job, but it can be a bit messy. have lots of oil
diapers on hand.

Do you have a Racor-type fuel filter? If so, my bet is that it’s clogged. No
doubt the remaining crap in the bottom of the tank was again stirred up. This
is a pretty common problem. Also, if you have a Racor filter make sure it’s a
30 micron. I’ve seen many boats with 5 micron filter elements
Hi,
Any suggestions as to troubleshooting my Yanmar 2GM that cut out on me in rough
seas the other day? It was windy and confused waves near the shore of the
Toronto island. I was motoring out of the channel, rounded into the lake and it
died and wouldn’t restart. This happened a couple years
