Fuel Issue is FIXED - Engine Runs!!




















Aaron arrived Sunday morning just as he had said he would. Super nice guy and extremely knowledgeable, just as our dock neighbor said he would be. He checked this and tinkered with that and soon found that all the hoses on top of the secondary fuel filter were loose.



















Not loose that we could see or feel but enough that he put a full turn on all of them. That is where our air was coming from. He filled the primary and secondary filters with diesel, pumped the lifting pump a bit, did a couple of other little items and had Tom fire her up. She was a bit rough for a few seconds but then settled down into purr mode. YAY Aaron. He then proceeded to show Tom a couple of handy tips and tricks - stuff you don't find in a book, class or magazine article, but rather years of servicing diesels engines. Really good stuff!
