The filters looked ok, I changed them anyway.
There was air in the lines. "Scott Vernon" wrote "Bart Senior" wrote ... It didn't run at all until I changed the filters and bleed the system. Because the filters were clogged, or you had air in the system? If the filters were clogged, the new one may have restriction already. Did you inspect the rubber gasket? Do you have 2 fuel filters? SV I'll bet it's either the fuel pump or else the return line. Either of those fits the circumstances. |

With our diesel (Ford Lehman) for example there is almost no return at idle, the return flow seems to be proportional to throttle setting (although it jumps when the load changes). I find that very strange Doug. I have a Ford Bowman and have a very strong return even at idle. Also have a very neat system to bleed the system of air. Its a tank mounted above the fuel system that has a capasity of the whole fuel system. If I get air in the system it get trapped in this tank above everything else. On top of the tank is a valve for purging out all the air. It's great for removing all the air induced while changing filters off shore in a rocking boat. My return is just as strong at idle as it is at full throttle. I have a simms fuel pump what do you have? Perhaps the Bowman conversation is just far better and stouter than your lehman conversion. Joe A blocked return line could cause the engine to die but it would be more likely to surge or be unresponsive to throttle first (disclaimer- I am not an expert diesel mechanic and never played one on TV) Your advice about checking the filter again even though its new is right on.

I put it on because I had trouble bleeding the system. Here is what you do. Mount a tank in the fuel system between the pump and the rack. Make sure the that the tank is higher than the rest of the system. Make sure the tank will hold an equal volume as the whole system. If any air gets into the system it will bubble up in this tank. The tank has a valve on top to bleed air off when you start the engine. I have a clear hose going from the top of my tank to a day tank for the gen set, if you do not have a day tank for your gen set use any fuel container to catch bubbled up fuel. Its great and works perfectly! Joe I've found that it was damn hard to bleed the system with either a hand pump or electric. Later I found it was easy to bleed the system with a little gravity assist. I was planning on pulling it off anyway. I'd already clipped the wires and the next step was to pull the pump. "Joe" wrote create a loop for the pump only if you must have one. Make it where you can isolate the pump out of the system when not in use. Everyone I know who did what you did has the same proble trying to suck fuel thru a electrical pump without it on. Why do you even need a pump besides the one on your engine? |

I do the same thing here Mooron. Mostley stinkboats. One trawler guy gave me a crisp new 100 dollar bill. I told him I did not want it, thats what you do for other boaters, he said if I did not take it he would just toss it in the water. So I accepted it. Then there are the cigarboat assholes. I secured about 5 floating dock boxes full of gear before they made it to open water, not one of the owners said thanks, and one of them with his stuck up slut gave me dirty looks, acted ****ed off about it. Next time I plan to shoot holes in them before they can bump into my boat. I think they would of rather filed an highly inflated insurance claim. Joe I often wondered during hurricane Juan last year if it wasn't better just to scuttle the damn boats that belonged to ignorant, inexperienced owners... rather than allow them to become hazards to the vessels properly secured. Cripes... on my boat I stripped every piece of loose cloth, dodger, rail cloths, sails and gear from the decks and placed two anchors with major chafe gear at 45 degrees to my mooring. I secured and stripped 5 other vessels... the owners hadn't bothered coming out to do it themselves. 4 of the 5 thanked me profusely and purchased beer and rum for me. The 5th never showed for the entire season.... I heard he had died on vacation and his widow was housebound in grief. 3 vessels tore their moorings... all behind me because I secured all vessels within what I believed was a striking perimeter. Those boats that tore loose hit , damaged and/or sank 4 others. Of course nobody got blamed but the insurance premiums went way up... for all of us! Overproof suffered no damage at all. I dove to free the tangled mess of rode and anchor. You either rise to the challenge or get swamped by the results.

I'm impressed that you knew you were in Bayboro. That place hasn't changed much, except for the increased thru traffic. Most outsiders driving between New Bern and Oriental see the intervening distance as 35 miles of partially paved swamp. BTW you went right by our boat. Should have stopped in.

"katysails" wrote: ....and are there really people that drink unsweet tea????yech..... It's a regional thing, Katy. In the midwest when you ask for iced tea, it automatically comes unsweetned. When I roamed the eastern parts of the country (like Georgia), the tea is pre-sweetned. Another interesting thing about different regions, is when you ask for a hot dog with "everything on it" in Georgia, etc. it comes with cole slaw! I had never heard of putting slaw on a hot dog until that experience. LP |

This is a guy who has been to the City many times over the years. He felt that at this point New Yorkers' reputations for rudeness was no longer deserved.

Sugar must be added to tea while it's hot from brewing, so that it will dissolve more sugar than when cold, and not be cloudy when chilled. It is not possible to add sugar to iced tea and turn it into sweet tea. I have not explained this to anyone in years, having given up long ago.

Why would you import someone else's produce when you're a leading

Have you tried the freezing method of rendering the syrup?? Works like a charm and reduces the remaining stove time to a 1/4 of what it normally takes. It's just a matter of freezing the raw syrup and removing the ice. The syrup itself does not freeze as quickly so you reduce the water content by a major factor. The result is the same. CM |
