Great thank you. Adder to my video list “Generator Maintenance”

Hmmm...I recall several years ago on that boat cruising back from the Vinyard your diesels bogged down pretty bad and you had to clean the Racors on the fly. I guess that would be a Sully Mistake Factory! So kids, listen to Sully, he knows!

Very informant

[@MagnusGrahm]

When doing this job in place in order to not introduce new potential leakage in the fuel pipes it’s a bit tricky to keep the lower rubber seal in place, it falls down! Could a small amoun of grease hold the seal in right place when putting the bowl in place?

Thanks Sully you think that was nasty you should see mine. Are you good with reusing the gaskets and o rings?

[@navtronicsmarinegroup]

In a pinch I would re-use a gasket, but given the work it takes to get this far, I prefer to spend a few extra duckets and just have all new. Gives me one less failure point in the future in theory

The good news is that the top o ring that comes with the new element is the same size as the plastic bubble o ring. We both know which one is easier to get at. All done , thanks again. :)@@navtronicsmarinegroup
