I had diesel bug problems on my old boat, tried flushing the tank but still needed to change filters quicker than normal. While working abroad I put the old girl in a boatyard had the old BL laid over engines swapped for a pair of Transits, new tanks and lines. The boat yard used the old diesel to run their oil burner stove, so did give a few Jerry cans of good stuff. So luckily my wages covered the refit, but on a pension, I feel for you. Take care out there.

Hello Vince, you’ve been having it hard. I expect the water rising and boat listing was a scary moment and you had a sleepless night. I hope you’ve managed to get the fuel tank, pipes, filters etc cleaned out. Must be all the crap they’re cutting the diesel with now. Also hope you’ve now got to the workshop and got the engine sorted. I suppose that’s the downside of continuous cruising - engine and fuel gubbins takes a battering. We’ve currently got no roof. Been off for 2 days so far. We’re having solar fitted in one and a half weeks, then the roofer is coming back in April to tile it. It will be good to have a leakproof roof for the first time. So we’ll be part way off-grid soon. It’ll only be water on the mains but hopefully not too long until we are harvesting rainwater - just ready for the summer drought haha! Take care for now and hope your troubles will soon be behind you. Xx

I haven’t even moved onto my boat yet and I’m already worried about unplanned closures: no passage through Brinklow currently and that’s where I’d planned to go. Sorry you had problems but at least you found someone to help. My plan is to subscribe to River Canal Rescue but just the cheapest Retainer option, that way I’d have to pay for call-outs but at least I know someone will come out.

Ie on camera. And when I met you today , you are the same off camera, a very nice family person with a kind and forgiving person. You are a diamond of a man, especially important that this still come through during your very difficult time off batteries and engine issues. All will be better soon. My very best regards Colin And Ashby..... what a team you both are. 👏

Poor old Vince! Mother Nature can be an evil old biddy and engines have no heart or sympathy for their troubled owners. Hope things look up for you soon, thank heaven for a mild winter, might have been even worse. In the coldest part of December my oil central heating boiler committed suicide and I had to have a new one……..thank heaven for a miraculous space in the heating engineers calendar because I spent a whole week living in my small bedroom because that was the only room with enough warmth. I would have had to be a millionaire to heat any of the other spaces. Better luck for you this year, hope you find yourself back in business pronto.

Greeting Vince, and it's good to hear from you again. It's just Sods Law that problems always seem to come in groups, never just one, mend it and off you go again. As for the problems with the water levels, at least your home rises with the water, mine doesn't and we had a flood that almost touched the house but fortunately receded in time. Then the car wouldn't start, after checking all the usual culprits the garage discovered it was the key switch not recognising the key. Sod all wrong with the key it was the ignition switch itself. Just waiting for the third problem now. Ho-hum such are the problems we live with in a first world country. Finally, did Ashby get any bacon after staring at it for so long? Keep your chin up Vince as you say the boat didn't sink. Kevin
