What grows beneath - Fuel tank FAIL! Polishing our diesel fuel tanks (Sailing Satori) S3:E06

Ever wonder whats happens when you neglect your fuel tanks? What happens when you become complacent and fail to treat your fuel, especially while in a 3rd world country? I’ll show you…

In this video, I take you along as I do my best to clean my tanks with the single access port they were designed with. Like many fuel tanks, my tanks were designed with baffles separating 4 sections of the tank, with only a small cut away in each corner of the baffle which allows fuel to pass between the sections. To put it simply, I could only see or clean 25% of each tank.

Since we had limited resources and space in Luperon, Dominican Republic, I chose to simply transfer the fuel completely from one tank to the other, several times, until I saw was clean fuel passing through the fuel polisher. This certainly improved the state of my tanks, but we would find as we motor-sailed out of Luperon, at night, it did not “cure” the problem.

On the next segment of our battle with the diesel bug, we take extreme measures to solve the problem once and for all!
