So, if I understand recent responses to my recent post on running out of fuel at less than an empty tank, the theory is that with a weak fuel lift pump at a certain fuel level in the tank, the pump would stop lifting fuel, thereby causing the engine to run out of fuel. So, guess I’ll take a sho

When you say ran out of fuel do you mean the level of fuel in your fuel filter dropped below the outlet? Which Racor? A 500? If so, check the gasket and check the top for warping. A warped top may not seal properly and may begin to leak when the fuel level gets down to 1/2 tank or so. Dennis C

The pickup tube is near the forward part of the tank. Have you done anything to change the pitch of the boat? If you removed bow weight or added stern weight or both, this could change the pitch such that fuel collects further from the pickup tube. Josh Muckley S/V Sea Hawk 1989 C&C 37+ Solomons

Re: Stus-List Fuel Mystery

Tom, When I put fuel into the Enterprise (insert dilithium crystal / antimatter joke here), I often have to go very slow as the fill will back up if I go quickly, giving me a false impression that the tank was full. Could that be it? Also, is there any chance that the boat has a bit of a heel w

Stus-List Fuel Mystery

I have a puzzle. I was on my way to fill up last trip out for a nice weekend rendezvous with out club when I ran out of fuel. Fortunately, I was close enough to our club in the inner harbor. I dropped the dinghy and ran to shore to get a gerry can of diesel. When I finally got to the gas

Re: Stus-List Fuel filter maintenance stories

My previous boat with an A4 engine would slow down or stall, when running at full throttle. When i backed off on the throttle, the engine ran fine. Problem turned out to be a clogged filter on the end of the pickup tube. Cleaned it out, and the engine ran fine after that. Did C&C put filters on the

Stus-List Fuel filter maintenance stories

I was on the pier couple weeks ago when a neighbor boat owner told me he was coming in off the lake and couldn't get full rpm on his diesel. He asked if I thought it could be the fuel filter being blinded. I said yes and asked when was the last time he changed the element. His reply? 35 years!
