Black Panther 1,745 Posted January 8 Author Share Posted January 8 Cheers. Tank is empty. A bit of sludge and goop came out with the last mouthful. I assume the pickup is some distance above the bottom of the tank. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

motorb 41 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Remember to check your strainers and replace the fuel filters! There will surely be a bit of fugitive water in the system being trapped there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Frank 161 Posted Friday at 02:38 PM Share Posted Friday at 02:38 PM Probably shouldnt hijack this topic but a thread on stupid mistakes made on boats would be a laugh I can certainly own up to a few captain Dumb Dumb moments. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest 129 Posted Friday at 10:36 PM Share Posted Friday at 10:36 PM Love the LD28 Rotary injector pump for priming. I remember doing one of the 4am missions to the mountain thinking I had enough diesel to get to town to fill up . Alas, no. Died on the steepest hills so went up in reverse to suit intake . It was a juggle but auto primed every time. The kids were going, geez dad! We scored awesome deep fresh though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
