Greg, Coming up the NJICW my stb. engine surged a little at the start (after about 45 min), settled down and ran fine for 10 hrs, and then died from fuel starvation soon after I set the anchor. The generator didn't want to start. I turned the Walbro fuel pump on and I soon had an accumlation of diesel on top of the fuel tank. I finally tracked it down to a pinhole leak in the nylon tube which connects the filter to the pressure gauge. The quick fix was to insert a nylon plug in the 'T' in place of the pressure take-off. Fuel pump pressurized the system fine and all engines started and ran. I would not have suspected the pressure pickup hose except that the Walbro forced diesel up the tube to the pinhole where it became obvious that there was a problem. Even at that I had to search for the source. (pinhole caused by friction between loops of the tubing). HTH p.s. Atlantic Highlands marina is NOT the place to wait out N-NE winds. We have been taking Dramine for 2 days. Last night 25-30 mph on the beam in the slip. We're out of here today! **************** Elliott Bray M/V Letitia - Gulfstar 44 MC Waiting for better weather in Atlantic Highlands Nj ************* ---------------------Original Message Message: 26 Date: Wed, 25 May 2005 14:13:18 -0700 From: Greg <cybergap@comcast.net> Subject: T&T: Fluctuating fuel pressure question Question: What likely would cause this fluctuation... fuel pump, regulator, injector control module. other? Each of these parts are too pricey to start a trial and error process. -- Greg Pless 37' ACMY -------
