How to remove water from a boat’s diesel tank

[@TillerQueen]

This is an absolute pro-tip, thanks for posting! My diesel tank isn't huge and I have some space under the floor so I was going to get a larger one although it'd be amazing to have a second tank with a polisher in the middle so I can pump from one tank to another to clean the fuel! I'll give Paul a call and pass on his details to my neighbours. Thanks! 🙏🏻

[@canicebannon]

Hi Beth, the big take from the experience was that the process of cleaning a tank is so much easier if the tank has an access hatch or man hole. In my case, having just the filler cap as access reduces the effectiveness of the job. If you do plan to get a new tank make sure there’s a nice big access hatch. 😀

[@TillerQueen]

@@canicebannon That's a great tip too! 🙏🏻

[@smilysun8358]

Love to see you back and take it easy

[@canicebannon]

Thank you and I might take it easy!😂

[@jimmineweaser3300]

Good to see you back! I hope all is well. Looking forward to seeing what you’ve done to Linda.

[@canicebannon]

Welding and painting for Linda. Vid this week.

[@atoff]

I've missed these sunday vids, glad to see you back Canice.

[@barbaratrickett4925]

Hi Canice, great to see you back, where you been ?we are just a couple of oldies who love your videos, but what have you done to sea captain ? Fess up, you have sent him to Davey jones' locker have'nt you !!! and what about stilson? Is he having a well earned break, or have you dumped him over board, seriously tho, we have loved every moment of your journey with Linda, take care barb n Steve 👍👍

[@canicebannon]

Hi Barb and Steve! Thanks for the comment and sorry about the delay in getting back to you. I had a little break but as you already know back at it!

[@richardzehrung9776]

Sorry you had a dirty fuel tank But very good to see you my friend Was beginning to get worried about you

[@canicebannon]

Hi Richard! Yeah, sorry about the absence… The fuel was a building problem I suspected, but hadn’t appreciated the how bad it was.

[@duncanhall574]

Great to see you back on the Tube, Really interesting video and I learned something new around red diesel too, I had thought this was only for agricultural use and was about to alert the athorities! Looking forward to seeing how you are getting on with Linda.

[@canicebannon]

Only in the the UK I think…. I know on the continent it is not allowed. Gets complicated when a boat from the uk gets inspected by the French authorities and sees red diesel in the tank. 😂😂😂

[@billherring3065]

Boat boy happy to see you safe. I have this gentleman do this on other KZbinr channels but yours has been the best question asked an given best explanation. Please don’t so long next time to post. I know you have nothing better to do 😁

[@canicebannon]

Hi Bill! Sorry about the delay with the videos. A temporary glitch. I am a huge nerd and found the process fascinating! I’m glad Paul is getting about, he was great! I hope it sends some business his way.

[@Multipleimaging]

Great to have you back Canice & what a super interesting process that was. Didn’t even know that was a thing. So, now you have F1 spec diesel will you be water skiing behind Jorja🤭😏

[@canicebannon]

Hi Gary. As you’ll see in the next video, there is a race track across from the boat where Lewis Hamilton learn to go cart! My engine runs a lot smoother though!

[@josephredman5957]

Great video! Weirdly the same day you posted this a mechanic told me I've got more water than diesel in my fuel tank. Least I know who to call

[@canicebannon]

Serendipity! Love it.

[@johnlockhart5889]

Welcome back,missed you.

[@mmpointy]

Really interesting video. Thanks Canice. Good to meet you yesterday. I hope you've recovered from your snow blindness. Best wishes, Bill.

[@canicebannon]

Hi Bill! Good to see you. You have the advantage of getter by sneak previews!

[@markk4285]

Welcome back Canice. Like other commenters I was getting a little concerned. Tiller Queen mentioned The Netherlands and I wondered if you’d run away 😳. Very informative vlog. Ta. Will take a look at those water filters and see if I can afford one for fuel polishing. Slán. Mark. M V Sarah.

[@canicebannon]

Sorry about that! I wouldn’t mind running away to the Netherlands! 😂 This Vlog is an attempt at being genuinely helpful with expert advice! Usual nonsense next week!😀

Hi Canice Glad your back, and a very interesting vlog ,Thank You

[@canicebannon]

You’re welcome Ramsey! Glad to be back. More on the way!

[@williscliff6811]

Thank you Canice, I immediately bought some additive. Great work as ever and welcome back.

[@canicebannon]

I never thought additives were essential until I saw the mess coming out of the tank. 😂

[@magicbusart]

Your instructive vlogs are really interesting. I'd love to see more of them. Rock on Canice ! 😁

[@soundhobo]

Fascinating, that’s quite a process and a smelly one I’d wager…I’m not mad keen on the smell of diesel any more as one of my teenage jobs was working on a refuelling barge for trawlers. That really wasn’t a very high price to pay for a good hot shower and some winter heat 👍

[@canicebannon]

It was definitely worth it, but it took two weeks for the smell of diesel to leave my bedroom. It turns out I was dragging it in on my feet. I serviced the engine afterwards. 😩😂😂

[@soundhobo]

[@pauldostaler4044]

Glad to see a vlog from you Canice! Was concerned for you!

[@canicebannon]

Sorry! I had technical issues…. 🙄

[@rareairvideos3070]

Wow... I had seen this before but not in this much detail and depth!! Seriously damaging particulate matter. Ouch! Glad you clarified that it was just COLD showers you were taking not NO showers.. heh! Worth it to use the green stuff every fill up I would think. Nice return to the videos. Great to see your face! ":O) Thanks Canice!

[@canicebannon]

It was a eye opener. One thing he said, off camera, was about a boat from 1930’s whose diesel tank had rotted out from the inside because of the water in the bottom of it! I’m back and usual style returns….

[@rareairvideos3070]

@@canicebannon That's not good. Internal rot and boats. Not good. Good that you caught it. Absence makes the heart wonder if you got abducted by canal aliens... hahaha.... Well good. Everyone needs a rest from editing and video prep and b roll and ... At least no more cold showers.

Viewer #2. Guess I have to try harder or something. I was wondering what might have happened. You probably had enough on your hands with the heat wave, and now this. You don't suppose the Captain......no, he wouldn't do a thing like that would he? Glad to see you got a solution to your fuel problems, and good to see you back again.

[@canicebannon]

Hi Peter! It got very busy and I was a bit overwhelmed. Anyway, I’m back and videos of welding and painting and cruising and nature and fire, coming soon!

The big problem I have is that I’m welding steel from 1910, 1975 and the present together. This is challenging. Give me two bits on modern steel to weld and there’s no problems.

[@SayWhatinAz]

So they don't seal the tank? Hmmm seems with the thermal cycle you see in England you would want as much corrosion resistance as possible....

[@canicebannon]

Every diesel tank in a narrowboat is made of steel. But now plastic tanks are becoming more popular. I was surprised to see bits of rust coming out of the machine. It hadn’t occurred to me that you could rust out a tank.

[@R0ckMum]

This reminds me of when we got the main chimney swept in the old house I grew up in just before we sold it. The firm had a machine like a giant Henry vacuum cleaner, about the size of a fuel barrel, we filled it up with soot. About 100 year's worth. Oops. We had been burning wood for a good few years but originally it would gave been coal too. If only mankind had never discovered fossil fuels.

[@canicebannon]

The price of fossil fuels will move people away from it in the end. Solar is way cheaper!

you dont need water at all in bio diesel to have bugs mits lives on the suger in the fuel
