Thanks, i will be doing all to that standard but adding an additional safety Bubble leak detector as well and a pilot gas leak detection device too. My only issue is getting a 3/8" fitting to fit onto the older pipe and then connect to either a shut of valve or straight to the bulkhead fitting...

Hi, Could anyone help with this question please? I have made a new gas locker to fit a 6kg propane bottle, the original gas pipe that feeds to my new cooker is 3/8" If you look at my drawing i am trying to do this and get a fitting will let me put a shut off valve on the original 3/8 pipe and...

Great stuff thanks

My Hino WO6d engines have brass pumps that have a hose attached about 1/2 mtr long. I take it these are for pumping the engine oil out? My question is are these nominal on most engines, and what are they like to use? I know pump out tools are usual but I don’t have these. Thanks

Surely if the HMRC states that a seller of fuel for private craft has a duty to declare that he is supplying such, has to pass on the discounts applicable as required by law? Not that i know what the laws are, I'm asking as an interested party as my boat gets put back into water this week after...

Yeah agreed, the fuse in the starter cable was my error and is being taken out, the cable is very heavy and short enough not to reduce its power handling, so good there also. The starter is getting removed simply to check it is ok but only if there is still an issue when the fuse is no longer in...

Thanks that is what im doing

Well i found i made a rooky mistake when replacing the old wiring and ISO on the boat on this engine! I put a mega fuse on the starter cable! :oops: The other engine was done correctly and starts on the button. Was told the fuse will act like a resistor then blow as the starter pulls more...

God! I really hope you are right! So close to completion after such a long hard slog! Fingers crossed

When I say pumped all I did was pour antifreeze mix into the raw water intake through the weed traps. Making sure it didn’t go dry when engines were running just enough to show anti freeze coming though exhaust. This is what every boat on the hard stand in my marine does every autumn when boat...

Good stuff thank you

Thank you I will give that a go when I return to the boat

Not sure i could turn these engines, both big lumps 6 cyl 250hp turbos
