  1. Sorted 3/8”BSP X 10mm compression 10mm X 10mm running 2 hours not a drip
  2. Hi on a 3 LW the return is seeping, I can’t remove the 10mm pipe from the silver hexagon piece, I suppose spacer, I’m assuming it is a full internal thread there seems a to be 2 brass bits, maybe an olive inside outer nut Think maybe a quick fix when engine was on a fishing boat any guesses as to overcome the problem maybe something like this with a dowty between silver and brass man’s any ideas on BSP thread size
  3. Thank you I really wanted a 2LW but teeth and hens weren’t about when fitting Maud out I try to give it a good thrashing as often as possible I just thought perhaps one of the additives may help

    Thank you to all for filtering advice Now as so many moored boats and been moored up a lot myself ticking over I’m getting the old 3LW carboned up,I do give her a good thrashing fairly often towards the end of a cruise but as said, been a bit slack in the CC dept of late what is the best of the bottled juices to add to the fuel Redex I see is available from Halfords and toolstation quite a bit cheaper anybody used such juice and any benefits
  6. Thank you I’ll have perusal
  7. The whole base was plastic I had to buy new metal bases with metal plugs for the bss I’m wanting shorter filters The sites down for maintenance I already had the housing I liked the idea of switching from 1 filter to the other
  8. I have a twin fuel/water separating filter unit The filters are S3209T that screw into the housing and metal base with drain plug screw into bottom of filter they are about 9-10” long I would like to change to filters about half the length Di any of you folk know of such an element steel bowls cost £90 each to replace for BSS
  9. Looking for a banjo 5/8” bolt size 1/4” pipe hole looking to purchase new or used cannot find in www Making new pipe up as original when bought engine had a soldered sleeve which j have re soldered twice I have the pipe and have flared end I don’t want to take original off and reuse until new pipe stood the test of time thank you in advance
  10. After turning engine over and over checking and rechecking jobs a good un took a day but mind is at rest cant take video but sounds lovely Thank you every one much appreciated
  11. Great thanks
  12. I’ve had my 3LW Cylinder head overhauled by Gardner Marine when the cam sharp end is pointing down is the time to set the gap on the valve top if I use a dial test indicator on the rocker adjusting screw and turn engine over by hand when the pointer stops moving and just before pointer starts to move would be spot on I guess Yes I’m not back on boat for 4 weeks after hip replacement
  13. Thank you
  14. Thank you
