- DIESEL BUG in 35 Year Old SAILBOAT Fuel Tank I Ep. 67
In this episode, we head back to the 1980s to clean some diesel bug in our 35 year old sailboat! You may remember a few episodes back, our engine failed leaving our berth in Plymouth, to a blockage in the fuel tank. This was down to diesel bug and we finally got around to cleaning the tanks, removing the diesel bug and installing an inspection hatch.
Don't worry there's still some time, to show you what Lauren cooks up in our small sailboat galley.
We also give you an update on our P-bracket and how we have managed to fix it in the short term, with the view to getting hauled again in the future.
We hope you enjoy! Let us know if you've been a victim of diesel bug too!

Came for the diesel tank; stayed for the 80's vibe soundtrack and graphics! 🤣
Haha😂 We’re very glad you did!! Getting a lot of love for the new 80’s intro, we might have to keep it!
Nice..rock intro Music! Sailing Indiana, Rocks!
Ah so glad you liked it!! We had fun putting that together🙌🏼😆🤘🏼
Love the new intro!
Thank you😅🙌🏼 We heard the 80’s music and just had to do something with it!
Very posh new intro
Looks like you’re beginning to tick off the jobs to be done list they will certainly help
I’m impressed Top class menu being served onboard whilst the chaos of boat maintenance continues
Glad you like the intro!! So a fun one to put together🙌🏼😅
Lauren is a master in the galley, we might have to start a cooking CZcams just for her!!haha
LOVE the are titles 😄
Haha thanks so much! We loved the music so had to do something fun with it😅🙌🏼⛵️
Disposable nappies are excellent for soaking up diesel and water etc ,worth having a pack aboard.
Oh we didn’t know this! Great tip, there is always diesel and oil in places.
Congrats on your voyaging and breaking free of mother England 👍👍
Thanks so much🙌🏼 Getting out on the high seas at last🤓 We need to catch the videos up to real time now!
Great intro!!!
Nice to see you guys progressing as a channel and with your boat as well...
Fair winds ⛵⛵⛵
Ah how lovely to read this comment, thanks so much!! Creeping forwards one boat job at a time🙌🏼😅
Many of us have been there, the good news is that once cleaned out and the o ring on the tank filler we haven't had a repeat for 8 years now.
This is good to hear! We will have to check the o-ring on tank filer, good point!

Also be aware of moisture getting in through the vent.
In the coming future, buy a drill pump and a few meters of tubing. You will find it useful in so many ways.
Oh this is a great idea, so many useful tools we need to carry onboard. Will look into this now!
What song is this? Great find.
Love the new intro but there are some spelling mistakes starring. Lol
Oh noooo just watched again and you’re right😭😭😅😅 Strarring!! Crazy how the mind misses these simple mistakes… very annoying!
@@SailingIndiana simple mistake. We're all human. Keep the good content coming. Fair winds
I hate boats 🙄
It’s definitely one thing after another isn’t it😭😅
