Hi Richard,
As many folks have already noted, ultra low sulfur diesel (ULSD) has been the
standard since 2010. I use Biobor JF which is a Diesel Biocide and Lubricity
Additive. I think most people don’t realize that Biobor is also a lube
additive.
On another note mentioned by others, I fa
Hi Paul,
I use the Mr. Funnel funnel, as well. I wonder though, what do you do with the
half cup of fuel that is left in the Funnel after it does its filtration? I
don’t have a tractor.

Hi all - had to remove some paint for repairs and realize that he bottom will
need at least a touch up.
Paint smells a Bit like burnt rubber when the grinder hits it, and it smears
rather than stripping off in dust or chips. Clearly a soft film, black in
Color.
No resistance to acetone at all
At my marina, I just simple dump it into the used oil tank. Other times, I
have either temporarily stored it in a G2-like bottle (marked as waste oil) or
simply poured it back into the jerry can (unless it clearly had water
contaminants).

Many thanks for all of the valuable info on the fuel additives; I have saved
all of the responses and I am going shopping...Thanks again.

Sounds like VC Tar. I don't believe they still make it, but it was applied
as an undercoat to VC17...if I recall correctly.

The manufacturer recommends that you periodically test the filter funnel by
adding water to the cup and verifying that it doesn't pass through. Once
you've got water in the funnel you can add your fuel. The fuel will pass
leaving the water. When you're done you'll find only water and a very thin
Thanks everyone. Next season I will try the solvent wash trick. I think I still
have a can from my initial hull rebuild 7 years ago. I'll see if it has a shelf
life.
Otherwise I could just accept that my boat is so fast, paint just won't stay
put!

I replaced the dodger on my 35-3 earlier this year with a different shaped
version and now have the old bows sitting in my garden. Does anyone know
if they would be useful to anyone rather than throwing them away? I have

Tim,
Post the width of the bow as a start. I don't need it but I recycled one
off a Pearson 365 for my aft Bimini. Creatively mounted it on the stern
pulpit to get the right height.

Any possibility you are getting galvanic corrosion? We had a similar issue at
Nepean Sailing Club, where the tannic acid from years of logging created a
battery when different metals were in close proximity. We ended up losing a
number of marina mooring chains. All were corroded just belo
Hi Rick,
A friend who works on cars and has a 32 foot sailboat for 25 years that looks
better than new, suggested I use SeaFoam in both fuel and engine oil. It's
inexpensive and seems to make starting much easier, so I've been using that for
the last 8 years. I use Bio-Flo Jr when I top off the
My A4 reached its end of life at the same time that I reached my end of
patience so it is out to make room for a replacement from Electroprop. The
various bits and pieces will soon be on Craigslist (Jacksonville). Not sure
how shipping and all that works (especially to Canada). I'm just looking

I suspect most old car guys are familiar with Seafoam. Though I can't recall
exactly what is in it. I've always used it as an additive for gasoline engines
- boat fuel, mower fuel, oil mix for power tools and the outboard. I think of
it as a better alternative to Stabil.
Can't say as I've ever

Not sure why it works, but I saw improvement. I add an ounce of SEAFOAM to each
gallon of fuel and one ounce to each quart of oil. I add it to the oil when I
change it each Fall, and I add it to my boat's fuel tank just before I add
fuel. The can is 16oz and I only add 5 oz to the engine and 5 o
