Strong emphasis on the word "careful" is required. When I was working on an airport tank farm in Asia, a 14 million litre tank of Jet A-1 was put off spec by some idiot cutting the interface badly on the incoming multiproduct pipeline!

Tim Whittle's book "Fuelling the Wars - Pluto and the Secret Pipeline Network - 1936-2015" is an excellent book on the subject. Tim is an engineer who worked for many years on the GPSS and the book is a result of extensive research.

I would like to point out that fusing of individual parallel conductors is hardly ever done in electrical power installations - on the basis that the installation should have been done properly and that nobody would be stupid enough to disconnect a conductor. However, having seen some atrocious boat electrical installations...

Totally agree. I used to double up cables on largeish motors, as it is infinitely easier to install 2 x 70mm2 3 core SWA cables than, say, one 240mm2 in ducts. On a 1.6 MVA distribution transformer, the tails will normally be 3 x 630mm2 AWA per phase and 2 x 630mm2 for the neutral. It relies entirely on good workmanship.

Another vote for Oxon. They did a fine job on Daedalus - which still appears in their video! Chris G

Apologies for resurrecting this old topic, but previous attempts to contact the current owner failed and there is now some urgency to establish contact. Modified quote: "If anyone is is contact with the current owner of my former boat Batavia (a grey tug with many rivets), please could you ask him to contact either me or the company which is storing some boat stuff for him?" Many thanks Chris G

There is another large house, also built about 10 years ago, between this house and Lindy's. It is on land which was once part of the Bridgewater Boats site.

No. It was built about 10 years ago on the site of an old garage - and it has a tiny garden and no mooring!

If you really want a proper test kit, use a Microb Monitor2, which was developed by Air BP and ECHA. The problem is that each test costs about £50, so unless you have some very good friends from the old days, probably a non-starter! Chris G

We have started using Phurnacite again (after a 35 year gap and in a cottage, not a boat) and have been surprised at the huge amount of ash which it produces. I am certain that it didn't used to be like that.

And a burglar's delight - you can pop the catch on the top light in a matter of seconds (when I was young, my mother was forever locking herself out of the house and it was my job to break in)! Chris G

Reduced palm tube terminals might help. They are typically about 70% of the width of a normal tube terminal, which sometimes can make all the difference! https://www.ctcukltd.co.uk/product/reduced-palm-copper-tube-terminals-narrow-palm/
