Please carefully re-read my post. There has been a third category included which now includes EVERY time it is supplied for distribution, consumption or use. So when you (or your broker) advertise your boat for sale it is again being made available for use. Both making a product available and placing a product on the market require an offer or an agreement (written or verbal) between two or more legal or natural persons for the transfer of ownership, possession, or any other property right concerning the product in question after the stage of manufacture has taken place. This transfer could be for payment or free of charge. It does not require the physical handover of the product.

So, if their current 'best practices' are followed we could see more similar 'events'. Doesn't bode well !

Somone asked me yesterday if I'd heard of the following company : https://streamlinedpropellers.co.uk/propeller-repair-process-pricing/ No I hadn't. Fairly frequently, it is asked on the forum, for suggestions for prop repair / prop resizing companies, so here is one to add to the list.

He was also "gas safe registered" and should have known how to make joints correctly. ARNISTON’S OWNER Arniston’s owner was 39 years old. After leaving school he completed a heating and ventilation apprenticeship, during which he gained City and Guilds qualifications in pipe-fitting and welding. He was also on the ‘Gas Safe Register’4, which is the official gas registration for the United Kingdom. In 2007, the owner started a business installing and servicing heating and ventilation systems in commercial premises

Well of course you can, but you'd be ignoring the safety instructions from the BSS. These are the core points that should never be forgotten. Never install a portable generator permanently or make unauthorised modifications that are not supported by the manufacturer, or proprietary component supplier Never run generators on the boat, or on the bank near to doors, vents, windows and hatches. If you can smell exhaust fumes in the boat, it could mean the cabin is also filling with deadly carbon monoxide Never refuel any generator anywhere aboard the boat; take it to the bank and ensure you are a safe distance from other boats and potential sources of ignition. So when your boat fills up with CO and kills your girlfriend and daughter (as per the boater in the Lakes did) your insurance says you are not following instructions and therefore they revoke your cover and you end up in court for manslaughter whos' going to pay your costs ?

Without you answering some questions, what you have been given is probably the best you are going to get. You need to help us to help you !

2.1% (about 700 boats)

Are you fit enough to lift a 25kg + generator off the boat and use it on the towpath ? in which case you can use a portable generator (which should not be operated on the boat) cost £2000+ If not, then you are going to require a properly built in generator that it wired into the boat, and has holes thru thru' hull for water cooling and exhaust; Cost £8,000 - £12,000 depending on size. What is you budget ? Have a read of this .................. https://www.boatsafetyscheme.org/stay-safe-advice/electrical-safety/generator-safety/

According to the C&RT figures released today, licenced boat numbers are falling, licence evasion is running at 11.8% (remember a few years ago when it was under 5% ?) and boats without a home mooring continue to increase, known CCers (not necessarily all liveaboards) now number 8825 or, some 28% of all boats on C&RT waters. Still a minority, but quickly becoming a 'major minority'.

PER FOOT (as he has stated several times now)

There are so many options - without knowing what you want it to run and what is your budget we cannot make any suggestions. Cost will be between £1000 and £12,000

Which is why I asked which Marine 16 product you had used. If you had used the emuslified additive it makes the water molecules 'stick' to the fuel so they travel thru the injectors and engine and out the exhaust. I think it may be possible that the water in your filter could have de-emulsified / separated if it had been standing for a while. Grasping at straws. Does the diesel smell and feel like diesel ?

OK, but all the labels are pretty much identical except for a single line of small print. The liquid in the 'bug killer' bottle is clear (like water) The liquid in the "Complete" (removes lacquer and gum deposits but not 'Bug') is 'Rose' coloured The liquid in the "Injector Cleaner" is Very dark (black ?) Anyway If you got to the bottom of the tank - I don't think you have water in your fuel.

Unless the tank was totally empty when you 'filled up' whatever was in the bottom few inches will still be there. Marine 16 is the companies 'trade name' and all their products are 'labelled Marine 16' What was the actual product you used - there are several "additives" listed on their website

Are you by any chance adding one of those weird water emulsifiers into your fuel (not biocide bug killer) ?
