Great info. for all, incl diesel car owners and really all diesel powered equipment. All boaters should pay close attention to this video and learn to really save a great deal of money in the long run. Thanks.
This was the most informative maintenance related video I've watched on any sailing chanels thus far, and I've watched a lot of them. Being from the chemical field for over 30 years, I knew some of this info but even I learned a lot, so thank you for all the hard work you did in putting this together....and I could not agree more about the fuel additives, to me they are nothing more then snake oil products and I'll never use one in my tanks. Looking forward to part 2 of part 3 😁🤣😂
Patrick, your comments, especially from being from the industry, make all the research , effort and editing a pleasure! We have a lot of family on our boat this week so hopefully I can release the follow up within the next few weeks. Once I start researching, the amount of information gets bigger and more complete and then I have to start breaking it up into smaller pieces to make them easier to digest. I think I'm going to have to give up numbering in a series because it's becoming futile. 🤣🤣🤣. Please share any maintenance tips with the rest of us so we can learn from you.
Our pleasure. Glad you like it and its good that your interested in this really important but not much talked about issue. If you haven't already, make sure you watch the first and second in this series. ruclips.net/video/WAerRH162Eo/видео.html
Great video! The standard practice for aircraft - at least the ones I've flown, is to drain a bit of fuel into a clear cup from the lowest part of the fuel tank to see if there is water or debris in it. You keep draining until all you see is fuel. This is done every time you fly the plane. I never understood why all fuel tanks don't have a drain tapped into the the tank low spot that can be easily accessed for this purpose.
Wow, very good info. This video must have taken forever to edit with all of the photos and graphics. Thanks to the Admiral and Captain/Professor/Doctor Brown
Thank you!! Thanks for your comment and for watching. Yes, it took a long time, but we have learned a lot in the process too and are happy to share that with you all!!
Thanks !! you Got My Attention !! THANK YOU !!! I thinking only way to treat this is Access Plates and Cleaning the tanks And Maybe a Fuel Polisher going When ever running when Fuel is being Sloshed around.....Filter Filter Filter. I have yet to use a Biocide Due to yanmar warnings. I have Fiberglass Tanks and Hope they Last. Subscribed and Will be Pounding the Like button !!
Hello guys How are you? That was such a great work. So much editing and dedication to show the right info. Congratulations! It is a keep it forever video for me. Best wishes. Stay safe. Big hug from Canary Islands❤️
great video, thank you; I am a Patreon on other channels so will switch one to you as what you're dealing with is what we'll be dealing with soon. Sunsail / Moorings have asked to keep our boat in their programme for another year but we've said that we still intend to pursue our buyout at the end of this current season, ie October so your output has a lot of impact and interest for us. plus you're great teachers & most of all I love the way you laugh when you say things like 'this will cost his another $5000' :) :) :) keep it coming, & thank you.
Ha ha. Thank you, Cliff!! We are so happy to have you join our patron family!! Thank you!!! We are happy to help you in any way we can! We are glad to make you laugh too. We hope you can get your boat out of charter in October and hope to see you out here!!
Is there a Part 3 / Prevention video? Great job on this one! I too saw the "no additive" notation in the Yanmar manual and when I called the only Yanmar authorized service rep in Annapolis, they said "Hmmm that's interesting. Never heard that? Are you sure?"
Thanks for your note and encouragement. Brown has not yet made part 3. It’s been a crazy season for us. Maybe soon! Interesting about what the Yanmar rep said!! Makes you wonder. Will have to ask ourselves. Maybe it’s just not practical.
Interesting and in depth video. BUT - this could have been edited down with the others to make perhaps a 2 parter, instead of now a 4 parter. The long intros and ramblings at the start are dragging things out. I like you guys and have added you to my weekly watch list, but please keep it tight!
Way to prevent water and bacteria 🦠 are cheap methanol for carburetor/engine (98% sprit on Danish). 1 litter for each 50 litter diesel. Don't need every time. 2 times a year. Especially if the tank just stay non use. And remember to fill it all up the tank if it stay longer time with out use. The sprit/metanol take the water and it will burn with the fuels. Also good with gas/benzin engine. Hope you understand lol 😆 I'm Danish.... Ps Greenland fishing boat do this all the time for years. When cold meet diesel in the tanks, you get easy water diesel tanks.
Thanks for the tip! So if I were to buy what you are talking about at a marine or hardware store, exactly what would it be called? Not sure I understand the 98% sprit comment. Will pass on that information in our next video when I hear back from you.
@@SailingBlownAway the alcohol/sprit go contact with the water, and will burn later. And the alcohol will kill everything too. We pay about 8dollas for litter. It will not harm engine, but water do. We got 2 kind af diesel in Europe. One are 10%bio diesel add, and it not good for boats (growing easy bacteria) we also got diesel from 100% oil, but cost more.
@@SailingBlownAway probably yes. I just think we call the same stuff different names :). When we store the boat's for Wintertime, we always top op tank 100% full, and add the alcohol. That will provide no water/humidity in tank too. Very common thing in for all boaters in north EU
I love detail like this. Saves me from asking "but why?" like a 5 year old and googling for hours. Good job.
Thanks Thomas! It’s a pleasure doing videos for viewers like you!
AMAZING VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!!!! So well researched!!! It's clear you put lots of love into this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's all worth the effort seeing that others appreciate it so much! Thanks for watching and for your comments!
Looking forward to the next session of this fuel issue
Thanks Ian! Hoping I can get it done by next weekend. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Well said! It often happens SOOO slowly and out of sight that when its discovered, it's too late.

Thank you so much for watching and comment.
After these latest videos, you may have to update the "would we buy another charter boat" video
Ha, ha! 🤣🤣Know what you mean, but note that this nasty hidden issue happens on private boats as well. 😱. Knowledge is power! 👍

Yay... FIRST ! - (Now to watch the video :) )
Ha ha. Hope you are as excited after you watch it!!

Love the billy bob teeth Brown
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣SO much fun. Glad you liked it!
Please comment and share if you have additives / methods that you have used to successfully combat MIC, water and corrosion?
Newbie vid, tho good job.
Thanks for the comment and for watching.

@@SailingBlownAway some use bio kill (small expensive bottles = 100ml to 200 litters), but it will not take the water.
I find it really annoying when people spend half the video talking about what they're 'going' to talk about, you are wasting my time when you do that
Thanks for your feedback. We are sorry that our video wasn't helpful.
