About a month ago, I had a week off so planned to have a cruise upto Nantwich with some friends. We did make it and had a wonderful time but on the way back, shortly after leaving on the last morning the engine started to race, and finally cut out due to contaminate diesel. I was able to swap the filter quickly, but also had to replace the fuel lift pump which was only 2 years old at the time! But at least it enabled us to get back to the moorings.

Today was spent planning how to remove god knows how many litres of the contaminate diesel into drums so we were able to clean the tank. After some deliberation, it was decided that the best course of action was to use a drill attached pump, with the pipe down the diesel filler hole. When we started the tank was half full, and by the end of the day, and 90L later, we were down to just under a quarter of a tank!
