Yanmar did say their concern was the seals in the fuel system, but would not be more specific. Thanks for your helpful replies.

Sorry, I meant to say I have not used it. Yanmay were clear that should not FAME in those engines at all. I guess/assume they don't want to spend money checking everything to the nth degree in a safety critical component?

Ps have never had diesel bug. Don't use biocide. I remove a small quantity of water from the diesel tank rarely, with a Peela. That's me hexed myself for bug now!

Well done! Enjoy the boat 😊

I put the whole unit inside a cockpit locker as I was sick of kicking it, or the mainsheet wrapping around it. Only needs to be open near land, generally. Sealed the hole in the cockpit side with a bit of plastic nicked from the weans.

Mingming is Roger Taylor's (new) boat! I wish... (I do have a similarly shaped and styled double ended Norwegian style rowing dinghy, about 15' - she sails well, although rounds up without a rudder (i use an oar))

Lovely looking, light, hull.
