Onewheeler Posted September 6, 2016 Report Share Posted September 6, 2016 (edited) On the Thames diesel is expensive other than from an outlet in Reading. I fill jerry cans with red diesel a farm suppliers, no messing with "heating or propulsion". A jiggle syphon is easier and cleaner than pouring it out, one just needs to practice a sort of action to get the flow going. Less than six quid from Screwfix.

cuthound Posted September 6, 2016 Report Share Posted September 6, 2016 The float type through the back deck seem to stick and its somewhere else to get water in the tank. I don't know how good these are, the water one works well. I have a dip stick and only use it if we are out for a month or more, our tank holds 350 lt. Edit because I forgot the link. Blame it on the Ros'e but we are tied up and not doing locks. http://mcsboatproducts.co.uk/portfolio/diesel-fuel-gauges/ I have an MCS waste tank gauge that I fitted. I am pleased with it. I assume the fuel gauge will operate in the same way. The waste tank gauge is pretty accurate, unlike the float switch operated "red warning light" that comes on when the tank is 55% full.
