Yep, was at 3/4 full. I’m pretty sure it was crud picked up by pickup in tank. Kinda hard to get at now, but I’ll sort it out when I haul in in a month or so. Meanwhile, I’ll happily avoid anymore voyages like we had! Dean > On Sep 7, 2020, at 10:50 PM, Ronald B. Frerker via CnC-List > wrote:

Kinda basic question, but did the tank have sufficient fuel?  Too little in rough seas could be a problem with a diesel.RonWild CheriC 30-1STL ___ Thanks everyone for supporting this list with your contributions. Each and every one is greatly

I  found the easiest way to fill the racor ,and prime the injectors if needed, is a hand squeeze primer bulb. I put it in the fuel line before the filter. I can change the filter and just fill it back up bleeding the air out on top.  TedSV Ten-Ten'81 40Punta Gorda ,Fl.  Sent from Yahoo Mail on

A common racor to be used in these situations is the 200FG. Usually provided with a clear bowl but sometimes with a metal bowl. The metal bowls were provided as an option specifically for gasoline installations. These racors can be tricky to vent and fill completely, especially if the bowl is

I suspect muck at the bottom of your fuel tank is getting stirred up when you’re bouncing around and that’s clogging either the intake or filter. Have you looked at your fuel filter recently? Andy Masquerade Andrew Burton 26 Beacon Hill Newport, RI USA02840
