Hi Larry.

That's what i mean.
I think i will try with a simple test, and make a valve that can steer the
fuel two ways.
1. return it to the tank, so i can get the air out.
2. directly back to the feed line after the flow sensor, so that the sensor
only senses the REAL flow from the tank to the engine. Then i will let it
rock for a while, and keep a close look on every detail, like feeling how
hot the fuel lines get, and see if the engines start smoking or in any other
way start behaving drunken :-)

If it get's hot, it must be possible to simply let the fuel go for a spin in
the boat through some copper tube, and let it cool of there before
reentering the fuel line.

I have ordered the parts, so lets see what i get out of that idear.

Anyway, thanx for the link about the engines. That is extremely cheap, and
engine like that would costs twice or even three times the amount here in
Demark.

But what i don't really understand. How come that many smaller boats
(Diesel) have fairly small tank's, and yet the Diesel does not seem to
get hotter?



Just an observation to all this.....

Lionheart's 90 gallon diesel tank is INSIDE the starboard passageway
leading aft to the aft cabin (ketch). I've never seen it get any "hotter"
from running the Perkins 4-108 than not. Anyone sitting on the starboard
seat in the center cockpit is sitting right on top of it. Noone's ass
gets
burned or even warmed. That would be nice in the winter!...(c;
