" Hi there,
I have added a new fuel tank to my boat, by placing it in the bilge, in my steel yacht. The motor sits pretty well directly over the new tank. However, I cannot stop the engine sucking air occaisionly. The motor will run no problem at all, but every now and again, will just cut out a few minutes after starting. I have become an expert in bleeding it in only seconds because it always happens at the worst possible time!!
I have changed and checked everything (Believe me I have!) including all the connections,copper washers in filter, fuel pump you name it...
All I can think of is that because the tank is well below the engine(from 1 foot full to 3 footat empty)there is a tiny air leak somewhere jus allowing enough air to build up under vacuam to strike just when I'm beginning to think I've got the problem solved.
Any one got any suggestions in finding an air leak,short of fitting an electric pump, or using only the top tank? "
