I worked on the boat tonight removing all hoses and wires. Using a large screwdriver at the edge I was able to get the tank moving. I think it will lift right out now. I'll wait for a second pair or hands to help with the actual removal. Looking through the level sensor hole I can see a small s

Imzadi has a bronze Groco siphon break installed. The PO had saved around $400, when converting from the original A4 to the Universal diesel, by cutting corners on the exhaust elbow, hose routing, and the siphon break. Worked fine for 7 years and about 600 hours. Then I came in from sailing with
