A tiny amount of water seemed to be in the diesel, but I picked up more dirt this time. The man at Thorne Boat Services had a good point: if the take-off is not at the bottom of the tank then over a period of a few years a lot of water/muck can build up without becoming apparent. This could lead to a problem when entering bumpy water for the first time. On the other hand, if the take-off is at the bottom, the tank is constantly being "cleaned" by the filters and there can be no build-up of anything which isn't diesel. He approved of my "small" diesel tank, though, agreeing that a relatively high turnover of fuel is a good thing.Halfiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00167481543065324357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1772469946571497931.post-66627989759598358722014-08-27T21:05:08.367+01:002014-08-27T21:05:08.367+01:00Hopefully the diesel take off point from the tank ...Hopefully the diesel take off point from the tank is sufficiently high that it doesn't really matter whether you had a list when taking a sample?Tom and Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11277996736846008000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1772469946571497931.post-34250266792715864952014-08-27T09:11:27.757+01:002014-08-27T09:11:27.757+01:00Thanks John.Thanks John.Halfiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00167481543065324357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1772469946571497931.post-24950524474788302382014-08-26T22:42:46.588+01:002014-08-26T22:42:46.588+01:00I use a paste sold by Fuelguard to check for water...I use a paste sold by Fuelguard to check for water. Really easy to use and pretty cheap too. Just smear some on your stick and dip into the tank. It turns red if there's water present. Saves you getting a mouth full of diesel too.
