| Eureka!!! We think we have found it. |
We have moved on! Wayne was opening lines, checking everything, found a little piece of plastic in the first T connection between the fuel tank and the Racor filter. Has that been the problem all along? We don't know, but do wonder if dirty fuel has been the cause of all of our issues. In any case, we seem to have plenty of fuel coming through, so decided to try it. It's only a few miles to Kilbear, but there were no problems coming here (touch wood). Went out to dinner here at the restaurant with Ed and Nancy from Dream Fever to celebrate Nancy's birthday. Her birthday present was the return and installation of their prop. Beautiful evening, hope to move on to Byng Inlet in the morning.
Knock on wood for sure!!
ReplyDeleteAre you able to empty and vacuum out your fuel tank, then filter that fuel to see if there are any other contaminants?
ReplyDeleteI'm curious, does each engine have a separate line from the fuel tank, or is it a single line from the tank that later branches off to each engine?

We have enquired about "polishing" the fuel, unfortunately Sound Boat Works in Parry Sound didn't have the capacity, and we didn't realize we needed it when we were in Penetang. That may be the final solution. In the meantime, we will keep changing filters and adding stuff to the tanks. Each engine does have a separate line from its own fuel tank, but there is a connection.
