Leaking Fuel Tank on Sailboat- Boat Maintenance Day.

- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- The mini saga of our fuel tank and its many leaks, plus.. how we fixed them. Hopefully told in a mildly entertaining way. The diesel tank is on our sailboat and had been a source of misery until recently. Let me know what you think.
Good series of videos , showing a true representation of Cruising otherwise known as fixing boats in hot places! Please keep the polishing for the fuel and don’t end up with a pristine boat that goes nowhere! Good work both of you keep going!!!!
Thanks john:)
Some great ideas for the backyard mechanic
Frankly this is a realistic video of what actually happens when you want to make a small repair on a boat, I wanted to put a new impellor in the raw water pump on our boat and 2 weeks later I had completed the total refit of the water system. Keep it up :)
True! Every single time
nice video i feel sure i will enjoy watching them you two seem quite experienced sailor s
@@johnwishart7950 we’re glad you found us! Thanks for the comment, and thanks for joining us on our journey :)
Hi I think the mechanical shenanigans are very worth watching and also it enables you get useful feedback and tips/tricks to sort things out. We all gain knowledge from just doing it and every ship is different; the one thing that is almost always the same is the lack of space in the engine room, unless you own a million dollar yacht that is. Keep em coming! Good job Karli, it always stinks but you're a trooper.
Thanks Adel!
Here's everything that I know about mechanics: My husband knows a lot about mechanics. He has one of those flexible, extendable, grippy things, too! 😉
While mechanical content is not my favorite, I do find watching the problem solving very interesting. Your humor takes it the rest of the way so just keep filming what _you two_ want to film.
Thanks , thats good advice :)
Great video! I own and old boat myself, always interested in how others deal with the crap we face day to day.
Thanks BoatDawg :)
10:12 loving the details.
thanks for the feedback
Great video. I normally don't care for boat work videos - probably PTSD from by own boatwork, but your very british humor (humour) made watching quite enjoyable. Please don't start trying to please youtube, it will ruin the natural feel of you videos.
Thanks, I think this might be close to the level the videos will stay at and we don't want to over think them. Hopefully you stick around for more of our boat maintenance. :)
Great video! For me the more details the better. Also, some advice on techniques you used to get girlfriend to climb into a fuel tank. My missus would tear my throat out for just suggesting it. But we're old & she knows wot I'm really like
Glad you liked the video! Your comment gave us a laugh. Will post a detailed tutorial on how to get your gf into the fuel tank once mine has forgiven me. :)
You love diesel n the bilge!! It's just a bigger fuel tank 😂
Kinda like a vast below deck oil reserve. could last years. :)
@@theincompetentcrew Keep feeding it and it will last forever 😂
Karli blink twice if Ben is keeping you for slave labour 😆 he seems to have you doing all the work 😉
Your ToDo list is heading the wrong way! 9:08
Tell me something we don't know . haha
To funny
thanks
Yes, more boring detailed mechanical nerdery. Even my wife (who is tiny and fits in my bilge) likes it.
Also, envious of your bottom draining tank. We aren't allowed those anymore. (Says the man currently hand siphoning 27 gallons of 7 year old fuel through a dipstick)
The bottom drain is a scary thing but useful. We were considering a smaller tank and making it the lowest point in the system with top only connections to keep in in line with newer yatch building regs but this works for now. I will try to add more details to the vids from now. Thanks for your input. :)
@theincompetentcrew Oh I understand why they aren't allowed anymore... But I really wish they were ( for day tank use at least. )
I'm very happy to have found your channel, BTW.
@@23degrees we’re happy you’ve found us too ☺️ thanks for being here
hi, I’m new here love your channel enjoy watching every minute just a quick question what year and model is this boat? it’s beautiful.🫡🫡🫡
Thanks. Its an Alan Pape Cutty Hunk 41. Mid seventies. Heavy displacement and a little slow in light winds and heavy winds but we like it.
@@theincompetentcrew and I love it🫡
