Diesel troubleshooting
Mike,
My boat has a simple 6-cil. 32 years old diesel engine without turbo charging. Last year after replacing the fuel filter and removing the air from the fuel system I forgot to (re)open the fuel return valve between the fule pump and the tank. Result: overpressure - to much fuel injected - smoke. After a couple of months this was detected, the valve opened and the situation back to normal. No damage as far as I can notice. my 2 cents, Henk Overtoom (Netherlands) Karl Denninger wrote in message ... In article , Mike wrote: OK, now for my diagnosis; The smoke and sheen that I see are unburned diesel. The cause is low turbo pressure not getting enough air into the cylinders. The low turbo pressure is Caused by bad oil seals in the turbos allowing crankcase pressure to be reduced by the vacuum of the turbo compressor. The question of why would both engines have the same problem comes up. My theory is; when changing fuel filters, I use starting fluid to get the fuel to start. The ether (or other chemicals in the starting fluid) has caused the seal to deteriorate. Anyone have any feedback? The engines are honey's. They have never failed in the 10 years we've owned the boat ( 3000hrs). The smoke is not a killer yet, but I would like to solve the problem before it gets worse. Thanking anyone in advance for advice, criticism or observations. Mike Pop-test the injectors. My bet is that you have one or more bad ones, given that you are seeing unburned fuel on the water. That is NOT caused by the turbo. Smoke can be, but unburned fuel in the exhaust at low speed is not turbo related. -- -- Karl Denninger ) Internet Consultant & Kids Rights Activist http://www.denninger.net Tired of spam at your company?

My friend lives about 5km south of Gouda, in Stolwyjk. He is not in to boating but into motorcycling. Are there places where one can pay to go fishing in the sea?

Stolwijk is quitte near Rotterdam. Fishing in the sea can be done from several places, in the North Sea and in the so-called "Waddenzee" which is a shallow sea in the northern part of the country, bordered by a number of islands. Large parts of this "sea" fall dry at low tide. Under guidance, one can walk to some of the islands at low tide (partially ploughing through the mud). Fishing in the sea here is generally not done using fast fishing craft like Bertrams, Hatteras, etc. In general, large trawlers (say 20-30 meters long) are used, accomodating 10 to 30 people. Not as thrilling as shown on Discovery etc. but not expensive either. Some places where to book for sea fishing: Katwijk, IJmuiden, Den Helder, Lauwersoog. Henk |
