I heard a pop and saw the fuel in the sight glass fall!
The focus of this site is boating the San Juan's, but how can we cruise around without experiencing everyday boating issues, and here is another one that caught me by surprise. Maybe someone will learn from my mistakes.
About two years ago my Dickinson Bristol Stove diesel pump quit without warning leaving us cold. I decided a five gallon day tank was in order so that we would not be at the mercy of electric pumps or need any electricity for a stove that may run nonstop for days.
So far so good, my new $150 aluminum tank is about four or five feet above the stove and works perfect. (gravity is pretty dependable)
