A word of warning for the unwary.

yes paul, I agree , I was merely making an observation from what I have read on sites I visited and passing it on, I am not trying to teach granny to suck eggs. My boat is petrol so no experience of DB. But brainstorming usually throws up some good ideas and some ***t but all with the same intention to help fellow boaters .

also read this regarding filters

. Filtration is enough to prevent the diesel bug

A sub-10 micron filtration system is a good product to use against some of the larger microbial deposits that make their way into fuel tanks. However microbial growth is much smaller (1 micron) and will continue to pass through to your fuel tanks and systems, where under the right conditions, it will continue to grow unabated

Sorry Al,
I must have mis read, i thought you were stating, it was necessary.

Brainstorming your right, but get on my boat when "Team Phantom" are on, in full flight.............., Brainstorming goes extreme into another fcuk!n stratosphere,....... its hilarious, that is, once they get past being the best footy managers in the world, greatest presidents and politicians ever and fishing tackle inventors and after decking the mandatory red hot Bad Boys............. can't wait for the season to start.

I mean how can a raw mushroom and piccalilli sandwich be healthy eating.......they'll convince ya......... and telly quizzes, top class...... what is Victor Mildews home tele phone number, 2 of the cnuts got it right in a nano second...beat that.UNBELIEVABLE ha

any how stick with filters when you get a proper henjin in ya boat...

no problem paul, I just hope he gets it sorted. It's always nice to know why it happened, but that's the hard bit. When I worked for a haulage company in the 80's we never heard of DB , only problem we had was waxing of the diesel in very cold weather. I'll take your advice about filters when you get a proper boat for your engine ha ha

well some of that made for frightening reading, seems like in the strive for cleaner air they have made the product worse for the people that use it, oh!! and anyone that was sitting on the fence between a diesel or petrol engine for the future might have just had there minds made up for them?
