We met Ricco Aug 2016, parked behind him for 2 or 3 nights. Perfectly OK type, although I was (and still am) a bit miffed about his message asking us not to damage his boat if we passed it and he wasn't on board. Especially as I had already bought the spray paint and realised he knew it'd have been me.

All 250 litres? Blimey. But I bet you were too mean to fill up the tank and were just running on the dregs at the bottom. This means your fuel filters needs changing and your injectors are full of sludge. Blue smoke from exhaust? Valor Willow - ours. Steel not cast iron so shouldn't crack. Small. Quite happy with it. Foxy, never take up a job as a technical advisor, you will soon get shafted for recommending work not needed. A properly built system will have a dip tube that doesn't reach the bottom of the tank, this means the last inch or two if fuel is unusable, leaving the majority of the shit there (if there is any in the first place) What @donkey needs is a fill up. What he doesn't need is a load of nonsense like yours above! 🤬🤐

Electric drill pump + 5 litre empty transparent water containers.

Full 'demonstation/teaching' service booked in for next Sunday. Alternator being taken off and taken away for testing (hopefully) tomorrow. Another round trip with Jerry Can to garage today and fuel boat arriving mid week or so. Getting things sorted...

To be honest, it surprised me that your advice to donkey wasn't to start with an oil-change . Peter.

What do you do when you clout a lock or a bridge? Tie up and sit it out for half an hour? If that is a consideration the tank needs cleaning!

@donkey If you have a look on London boaters Facebook page I think you will find there are people delivering red diesel by van to boaters. I don't use them but I regularly see them on their rounds. Not sure of a number but I think there was someone called "diesel Doug" he might have stopped. Pretty sure that Johnny stopped but I think his mate Doug is still doing it. Phone number on this Facebook page m.facebook.com/groups/73933281285/?ref=group_header&view=permalink&id=10154682056316286Got to be better than fore courts Or wait for the boat.

Thanks, hopefully only one top up with can needed and fuel boat will arrive. Been warned off the vans due to 'legal' reasons - not sure of details but I also have heard that they maybe contributing to putting fuel boats out of business.

If there's ANY sediment, water, or any other sort of muck in propulsion engine fuel tanks it needs discovering, and removing, at the earliest possible opportunity. To suggest adopting fueling-up procedures intended to disguise a serious and potentially dangerous problem such as dirty fuel tanks is the height of stupidity.

True they are unlikely to be RCDO compliant but I was not aware of the consumer being in a problematic position. That's interesting.

True they are unlikely to be RCDO compliant but I was not aware of the consumer being in a problematic position. That's interesting. From what I've heard and I do stress that it is only 'word on the cut' stuff, the vans are undercutting prices by not complying with regs so the genuine compliant van suppliers can't compete and this is also affecting fuel boat businesses.
I prefer not to support a 'race to the bottom' whenever I can.
