I had a very unfortunate thing happen...
When I went to pull my boat for the winter, My Yanmar 2gm20f did not turn over. I thought my battery was low. So I took off the cover, and through the compression release and turned the engine over. Out of the crack case vent tube poured oils and diesel. Holy crow...
I pulled the dip stick and out poured oil and fuel... oh no...
After some research, it seems that my Fuel Lift Pump diagram has a hole in it which allows fuel to fill the engine block.
The greatest danger in this situation is a run away diesel. I was lucky when it started to run away I was down below and was able to put my hand over the air intake...
So my next project is to replace the lift pump, change my oil again... and clean my bilge.
