O'Mali

Quite, I was not referring to the canoeist.

Com-plete wanker.

I have used some of these adhesives in the past and as others have said, if not done exactly as per the instructions, they fail. Some of the ones I was using quotes room temp, material temp and humidity levels. I found that unless you are working in boeing or microsoft's laboratory, forget it. My advice would be to hire a genset welder for the day and weld them on yourself, I assume it don't have to be pretty and it's really not hard to melt a stick into a blob that will hold.

Proper light weight gnats p1ss that though at only 3.6% eh chop.

get over it cock, leave the enforcement to the authorities and just enjoy life.

It's the quiet ones you need worry about. The gobby ones are usually full of hot air and no substance.

Interesting! Thanks.

Hi What you have to bare in mind here is that terriers have or should have built in determination to never back down because of the job they were bred to do. There is one pet forum that is very popular, uk based and has members who are professional behaviourists, vets, vetenary nurses, dog charity staff and many 1000's of ordinary members, most of which are very seasoned dog owners. From there you can get a lot of direct sound advice or help with finding a real behaviourist in your area. Just be aware (law may have changed now) but anyone can set up a website and call themselves a behaviourist or trainer. One thing I see a lot of people say with these situations is the first thing to do is have the dog checked over by a vet to rule out any medical condition that is making the dog "angry" Also, dog on dog aggression in no way means the dog will want to do the same to humans.

I spoke on the phone today with a very helpful and nice guy from the technical department of this company and he informs me the figures quoted are for paraffin and makes no claims for efficiency with red diesel in his heaters. He assures me the figures quoted using paraffin are correct and also advised on the cheapest places to buy it. The guy came across as a totally honest engineer.

That's true and until a true fuel consumption figure is attained I will not pert with my hard earned! But to be fair with regard to " will it heat my boat" surely the outside temp matters there, but yes, I hear you with regard to iffy output/ fuel consumption ratios Thanks Nice but always been under the impresion they were very expensive.. Live and learn! Is that simple operation and almost maintenance free? A friend had one of their hobs for cooking and it was a problem as he did not use it that often.

Thanks to all who replied. I have invited the supplier to join this thread! @andy..... The heaters you suggest are floor mounted and bigger than I wanted. I want small and bulkhead mounted. Apart from the fuel economy issues raised, these heaters still look quite good to me, simple and reasonably small.

hard to know but trust has to become a factor at some point if one has little know how I suppose. They are selling on eBay so I would suspect a quick install and test would iron the fuel economy doubts. Any issues on that would quite rightly warrant a "not as described" claim maybe?

I have been looking for very simple, "maintenance free" back up heaters and found these here http://www.samphireseastoves.co.uk/ m.youtube.com/#/user/samphireseastoves What do you guys think? I kinda like them and the fuel economy to outlay cost seems good. The YouTube vid gives the impression they are noisy until the air supply is controlled but I am assuming near silent operation once set. Will theses comply with the BSC I wonder.

that excersise lark ain't all it's cracked up to be

indeed

I would be tempted to try to repair depending on what you find when you cut the insulation away. If its just a "pin hole" this is how I would go about repairing it... Thoroughly clean away the foam from the affected area. Get a, say 2/3 inch square bit of copper/stainless or mild steel and form it to the same radius or contour of the cylinder. Rough up both surfaces and apply lots of a very good sealant and press them to together until the sealant oozes out evenly alround. Leave that as is for 24hrs Next day cut away as little of the insulation as possible around the tank so you can fit 2off large jubilee clips around the tank and over the plate. Then all you have to do is test it, if it's ok, replace the foam from a can and knife back. You should also have a pressure relief valve on there some where.

/facepalm*

If I remember correctly there is a type of gas the welding team fill the hull with which deprives the area of all oxygen.. No oxygen, no flames is the basic science. So if you are having your boat over plated, don't come back from the pub assuming it will be ok to kipp on board, it might prove fatal. Disclaimer... I'm no expert. I do not do welding for a living. The above is only from info I seem to remember being told. Some experts will claim the above is incorrect. The above might be incorrect. The above might be correct.

Really? I have seen this posturing from you before, same form......... Dogs head in hatch, woman, you talking shyt and police involved! Only you said something different last time here www.canalworld.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=22923&hl=o&st=80 in post #87 So what was it? A slap or a glass of water in the face? As I said to you then on that thread post #92, be cool Dave! Your a pussy cat, not a tiger really lol

LMAO So does this mean we are no longer going to hear if the over stayer’s are STILL there? Thank f**k for that!

No. Very annoying! And sad! But I agree, hopping on a plane is very silly, maybe best to just walk up the stairs and take a seat.
