Fixed now.<br /><br />(2) Not a concern at all. Nothing in the ER gives off combustible gas. Gasoline-powered boats have far more issues (and thus safety standards) than diesel power such as we have.<br />Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17930398671280529448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6208406.post-36684920817690881252016-10-24T20:10:55.616-04:002016-10-24T20:10:55.616-04:00Thanks for your comment.

We just said that a system "had been installed."<br /><br />Shopping for new insurance is not to be taken lightly with a boat such as ours. This particular issue is not enough to tip the scales.<br />Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17930398671280529448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6208406.post-14913667328753036632016-10-24T20:02:12.428-04:002016-10-24T20:02:12.428-04:00First, I love the more technical posts.

I don't know much about this kind of marine system, but if you have a comustable gas in your engine room, your diesel engine will keep running even after the fuel pump is deenergized. You would want an air I take shutoff valve. hillgianthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06830166735776141701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6208406.post-2476433674167760652016-10-24T13:09:35.764-04:002016-10-24T13:09:35.764-04:00Nice job Sean, keeps the engineering mind active. ...Nice job Sean, keeps the engineering mind active.

Prahaps due to your 'DIY' installation? I would be shopping for a new insurance company. <br /><br />I do enjoy reading good tech articles like this one.
