Sludge

It was kind of a cloudy, rainy, miserable day and I didn’t get as much done as I wanted to.  I did manage to pull and replace the old raw water pump impeller, get an impeller puller for next time, and add two spare impellers to the inventory.  After that I went after my Racor 500 fuel filters since my tank was empty.  I only have to run the engine for a few hours and the collection bowls fill up with sludge from the diesel tank.  Hopefully now that they have been cleaned and scrubbed this won’t be an issue anymore.

 

Cheers to not letting your engine die due to clogged fuel filters!
