Found a partial blockage in a fuel suction hose, easy to clear by blowing thru, but there is probably much sludge in the tank.
does any one have a good way of cleaning the tanks?
I've heard that fuel polishing is not much help |

Finally solved this problem by removing fine wire screens that had been installed in the risers from the fuel tank. |

Hi, I get 5-6 gallons per hour with my TAMD41 at 3,000 rpm cruising speed on my 30ft down east flybridge cruiser running 11 knots |
