My sweet spot for cruisin is determined usually by rpm's. However actual speed/distance traveled can be greatly altered by the wind and current. Therefore I have always referred to gph, regardless.

If you are going to Snead Island / Palmetto why not go to Marlow (they are maybe a mile apart).

Check out crystal aire in Canada. We have two of their units.

When you replace the hoses, find the grade that is good for ethanol gasoline. Ethanol blend fuel are going to be around for a long time.

I sailed to Cuba in 99', as part of The Tampa to Havana Race. We were given free electric, water and dockage for a week being we were "Fully Hosted".

Changes can be from slight to radical, depends on demands during construction.

FWIW: I find it difficult to recognize any vessel that travels greater than 10.0 knots through the water as a trawler.

We had an issue with a PSV on our water heater. When motoring the engine would heat the water in the water heater to a temperature high enough to cause thevpressure safety valve to pop open and discharge eater in to the bilge.

If anyone thinks it is easier to remove the baffles in a fuel tank, make the wall smooth and prep it for bladder type bag, they haven't a clue.

FWIW: We find most tanks have baffles around two feet apart. You could try this... Grand Banks fuel tank removal - YouTube

Once we get tanks out we make a mock up using door skin. The tank(s) that go back in will have a similar shape only different.

Cut one big tank up and remove it sections. Replace with small more manageable tanks, then manifold your fuel supply and return accordingly. This is very common in getting the fuel volume you need with minimal mechanical removal.

Any photos of engine area, tanks?

We recycle from 700 to 1,000 gallons of bad fuel each month. By recycle, we have a company come in and pick it up then they process it. If you were in Florida we could help. Maybe call the local fire department.

I have found most major problems have a simple solution......

I would recommend the filter located near the user - 30 feet of small fuel line invites sediment.

I would dedicate a filter to each user - then I could send fuel from one tank to more than one user.

Good points Craig, the public has no idea what chemicals are in their tanks only to go to the local Worst Marine and take home a bottle of snake oil that usually reacts adversely in the end. We cleaned a 4K gallon ULSD tank today that has had one of the national brand being supplied and the tank...

Fast or semi-displacement trawlers, sounds like an oxymoron....

FWIW: Been reported that 'bugs' build up a resistance to bio-cides just like when one takes too much antibiotics. Most fuel additives have a shelf life once opened, sometimes one year.

David, You have taken the first step in recovery. Welcome aboard.....

The last report we received dated September 5 by the Clean Diesel Fuel Alliance and American Petroleum Institue was 146 pages where the ethanol is being introducted either by the trucks that bring the fuel or the common vent pipes from the underground tanks. Ethanol has been tested in diesel...

Curt, You asked two very good questions. Being in the business of cleaning fuel tank I can share with you what we find. Virtually ever diesel powered vessel we service, we usually find a partially filled bottle of one of the well known bio-cides. When we come across a vessel with saddle type...

I have anchored off of Fleming Key and what an experience. Twice a day, everyday, the charter boats travel through there as fast as they can go. We had TV's flying, dishes breaking and enough bruises to trigger a spouse abuse investigation.
