Nate, I installed a drain last year. I used magnets too and drilled from outside. I also used a door drill kit and a drummel tool and installed the drain flush with the hull and faired it with epoxy. If you need pics or more information pm me. You can buy flush nylon plugs by sea dog? and don’t

To clarify, I switched from steel tank to plastic when I repowered with a diesel. The 2 steel tanks that failed were in gasoline service. They failed due to pinhole leaks in the bottom. Dennis C. ___ Thanks everyone for supporting this list with you

I  found the easiest way to fill the racor ,and prime the injectors if needed, is a hand squeeze primer bulb. I put it in the fuel line before the filter. I can change the filter and just fill it back up bleeding the air out on top.  TedSV Ten-Ten'81 40Punta Gorda ,Fl.  Sent from Yahoo Mail on An

I switched mine to a plastic tank by Moeller Marine 8 years ago. It was pretty much a perfect fit. It’s great to be able to visually see how much fuel you have left without relying on the gauge. Aaron R. 79 30-1 Annapolis, MD Get Outlook for iOS __

A common racor to be used in these situations is the 200FG. Usually provided with a clear bowl but sometimes with a metal bowl. The metal bowls were provided as an option specifically for gasoline installations. These racors can be tricky to vent and fill completely, especially if the bowl is met

Not sure if the diesel replaced a gas engine, but I expect it did. Unfortunately owner who did that switch is unreachable. I’ll check into that tube in next day or so! Dean > On Sep 6, 2020, at 8:26 AM, John and Maryann Read via CnC-List > wrote: > > Welcome to the list and the 34 is a great

Welcome to the list and the 34 is a great boat. FWIW we still have original 3GM and it works like a charm I second the thought of checking the tube. Exactly what happened on our previous boat when we changed from gas to diesel. My understanding is screens on pickup tube were common if engine
