Looks like you guys had a lot of fun with the other cruisers… Did you mention what Youtube channels they have?

Hi my name is steve, Boat SV Darika a 33 nauticat. 90HP ford lehman and 2 x stainless 300 lts tank total 600 lts diesel.
But I have always had diesel problems. Blocked pick up pipes both tanks and diesel bug algy. Cleaning out tanks with that amount of diesel became problematic.. So i made a fuel polishing kit. A spair fuel filter housing with glass water trap. a 12 v powerful diesel pump mounted on a board with on off switch. to hoses suction one with a straight pipe on the end and the other put back in the diesel tank.. Works like a vacuum cleaner. don't have to be in a dock to use it. Even anchored at sea you can polish your diesel up.. Together with some fuel additive works pretty good and not so messy as cleaning the tanks. This problem does not go away and needs to be kept on top of

Don't you just love that slippery diesel sludge made even worse in the hot climate no doubt. Well earned break from the jobs and smelly tanks.

Oh my!! You totally lucked out with that tank access!So many times I'd find that the tank and pickup/sender access was buried somewhere where it was difficult to service. Great job getting the coupler seal done. The only concern I have is that you got the output shaft nut tight enough. Like you said, keep an eye on it. Maybe revisit it after a long run to be sure. Do you put a spray shield on the stuffing box? A piece of water bottle plastic and a ziptie works perfectly. I miss boats even though I hurt from 30 years crawling around them.
Great to see you two having fun after all the repairs.

What a groovy life you live with other sailor friends, and of course, Gringo Tacos. LOL!

I'm working on this sort of issue right now. I'm using an enzyme fuel treatment which breaks up the slime . Then I'm running a small filter and a circulating pump to polish the fuel. Btw those 12 volt pumps make fuel transfer easier.
