Firstly, I'd like to say thank you for taking the time to comment and like the video. It's great to see people's feedback so I can continue to try and make better videos. For later shots, I added some water to the samples to show on the camera a little more, which I then discarded the fuel
Thank you! Will all the links for DIY. One never knows how bad it is down there before. I may simply pump a little bit frrom the bottom of my tank with the oil change pump, and have a look at it. On my to-do list is a second raw filter unit and a tap to switch filter when first is clogged.
Thanks for leaving a comment. Thanks for liking the video and welcome if your a subscriber. The links should take you to the correct amazon page. Good luck with your project.
That's a very cost effective DIY set up, and very useful to watch - thanks. Personally, I'd always wear disposable gloves when handling diesel, plus any spillages are often hard to clean up (the diesel smell lingers). So I'd probably contain it all in a plastic container of sorts.
From my chef days I learnt that if you wash your hands with hot water then you end up baking the scent on to your hands, So I wash with cold soapy water which does the trick. Some jobs I wear gloves however I tend to poke holes in them pretty quickly so they tend to come off pretty quickly. Yeah can be a little messy and I am indeed a messy worker. :-)
So I am curious about the flow rate of the fuel pump you are using. I believe the fuel filter system you are using is rated for 227LPM. It looked like your output was quite a bit more than that. Is this correct?
The link in the description is not the one I used here in the video and I do mention that I don't recommend that one, however I have the pump which is in the description which I used on another project which flows much better.
Sure does. It's the second time I had cleaned the tank. I did it last year, I have been burning more diesel and refilling more often as I had used the boat and the heater a lot more. It was scarry stuff having the engine cut out on the way into a harbour! Thank you for taking the time to comment, and extra thank you for liking and subscribing. Let me know what you would like to see.
A production boat is a mainstream brand like Ford or Jeep. They are mass produced with boats. There are a few Jeanneau is my one. Beneteau is its parent company. You also have Baveria and a few others. They have a reputation of being more of an all-rounder marine hopper. But people travel all over the world with them. Just like people row across the Atlantic.
Amazon, there are links in the description for the ones I used my. The pump I used I don't recommend. Thank you for watching, liking the video and subscribing if you did. Please let me know if you would like to know / see anything else.
very informative, you can definitely see the diesel has some water in suspension in the later stages of filtering

Great setup. Thanks for sharing. It's obviously making a difference.

Clever cleaning setup. You said a "production" boat, what does that mean compared to say any other boat?
