fuel tank

Dear Ericson Colleagues, My 1986 Ericson 26-2 had her Westerbeake 10HP working flawlessly until a vigorous sporty sail in a recent long distance race with lots of healing. Turns out that the fuel filters clogged up. After changing them, they clogged up again almost immediately. Well, the best...

Hello! Total newbie here but hoping someone might be able to answer this question about my recently acquired 1975 32-2 Hull #323 with a 3-cylinder Universal (?) Diesel: There's a non-working fuel gauge by the RPM gauge and throttle, but I can't seem to find a fuel level sending unit anywhere on...

It started a few years ago when my boat destroyed its tether and ran aground, resting on the diesel intake side. I noticed some leakage and cleaned it up. A consult with help said that sometimes the diesel will flow out of air vent at that extreme angle, and apparently elsewhere since there was...

On my boat, a small amount of water accumulates at the low point closest to the engine and immediately forward of the fuel tank in a low point. I have removed the quarter berth platform, exposing the tank and all surrounding areas. There is no sign the water is moving forward along the tank or...

How hard is this one? I want to thoroughly clean out the tank as I am getting sludge in my primary filter. Other option is to have someone like Petroscrub come and clean it but cost is not yet known. Assuming the tank is emptied how hard is it to physically get it out of the boat? Thanks...
