Hi all Not sure why my post was underlined, does not seem to be doing it now. Alan, the pipe from the bulkhead mounted fuel filter to another small engine mounted filter is indeed a coiled copper pipe. I will make sure I change that one as well, thanks for the heads up. Thanks Geoff, that looks exactly like what I was thinking of and the price is more than reasonable too. Thanks bizzard! Alec

Hi everyone Been a member since I bought a cruiser about 6 months ago but this is my first post and have found valuable information along the way. I just have 2 questions I am hoping someone can help me with. I have not had my narrow boat on the water yet and have it dry docked where I live on a farm annexe. I have been working extremely hard since I bought her and after starting up the Lister diesel engine today has made me more excited than the day I started working on her. I noticed that a few of the fuel pipe connections between the fuel tank and fuel filter are leaking and they are quite bent and forlorn looking. Is it possible and compliant to fit flexible hose instead of copper or steel like Steve enquired? I know that this may distract from a more traditional look but I am considering the option. Second question is, can anyone offer me advice on a new or used diesel tank? Once I had scraped the muck off the existing one I noticed very bad pitting along the entire length where it has been welded and the steel does not feel very thick at all. I received a quotation for a customised polyethylene tank for about £480. Once again, not traditional I suppose but I am hoping to avoid the rusting in future. Alec
