Better to ask forgiveness than permission

Scraping is the best to remove the bulk, I have then used acetone to remove the residue, but it will depend on exactly what has been used

I have Warpaint over Alex No.5, Its been on for 3yrs, due for replacement, I've had no problems still working ok

Put in a non return fuel valve.

First thing I would have done is put in a new fuel filter, If that is cloged it creates a vacum and could allow air in to the system

From the Trade Me ad "The water tight integrity is somewhat compromised due to the (localised) areas of erosion & resultant water ingress There was a towel/rag pushed in to a hull breach at waterline. The port side appeared to have more areas of potential diminished (watertight) integrity, however there was a similar occurrences on both sides." It would take enormous amounts of money to make the hull water tight. The Detroit hasn't run for many years (decades) and the steel superstructure is so rusty you can see thru it. The harbour master has said that they would not let

I guess they left the bung out ?

Sounds like a head gaskit , but could be in the heat exchanger too based of you coment about the reduced flow from the raw water flow

Zinc (saltwater) rule of thumb was replace when 1/2 used
