Was near BS the other day & noticed you had gone and have been waiting for your latest vlog. Really enjoyed that & great to see & hear the countryside again. Make sure you have enough in the cupboard. It will be the push yonder soon for more lovely scenery and adventures. Happy cruising with Aitch.

    Mostly these old diesel engines you find in narrow boats are as basic as a diesel engine can be, all mechanical, no electronics to go wrong & all the fuel system components are by & large refurbishable !
    The hardest part with the injection pumps is keeping the timing correct when dismantling & reassembling.
    The injection pump is self lubricated by the fuel so i would be interested to know how you had diesel & oil escaping ?
    Sadly, it’s so often the case that mechanics see a person as an easy sucker, especially when they are stranded and have little or no other options, they start telling you a load of stuff you don’t understand !
    I personally stand there listening away, throw in the occasional “oh really” & when i’ve heard enough tell Em to “do one” !
    Not saying this is the case here but the little i did hear would have me on guard for sure ! Diesel bug is the biggest fuel related issue with waterway diesel systems, if you’ve not heard of it, google it, it causes particle contamination of the fuel that blocks filters & can cause issues with the pump & injectors. It happens more when tanks are half full in winter as the bug lives in the water that condensates inside the metal tank & sinks to the bottom of the fuel.
    Good luck with the travels fella !

    Well done mate, good to see you back cruising again, hope the engine troubles didn't set you back too much. I was handy with the tools having driven construction plant and tractors a lot, but those injector pumps are beyond me. Don't you have a hand primer to pump the diesel through. Had them on the old BMC lumps in my boat, thought they would have them on the A series engine in yours.
    Your boat looks well cared for, don't suppose you had much else to do during lock down, we've just had a case confirmed about 5 miles from where I live, the Vietnamese have handled it well so far, I just hope they don't slack off too soon. Look forward to seeing more videos of your travel's and wonder if the trip round the North of London is still on the cards.
    Take care and good cruising.

    • @NarrowboatCruisingLifestyle
