Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: Auxiliary fuel tanks
Bill , I also have a list to port of maybe one or two degrees ,I can see ,feel it , I could never figure why. Amel would have certainly balanced things out in the design . While you have the generator

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: Perkins M 4.154 repairs
More than likely your problem is the crankshaft bearings and the connecting rod bearings clearances are too large. As the engine warms the expansion of components causes the clearances to increase

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: Auxiliary fuel tanks
Has anyone used the collapsible auxiliary fuel containers that are available? They seem like a nice option for economizing in space when not needed.

Hi there James
Starting oïl pressure (cold engine) reads now 3 bars with 1300 rpm (goes up soon as engine starts - no time lag, good sign that pump is working)
goes down to 2.8 bars when warming up

Tom,
300 liters of diesel would weigh about 640 lbs, Thirteen G31 batteries at about 75 lbs per would weigh between 900 and 1000 lbs.
Just another data point for you as you decide what to do...

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Re: Hurth Transmissions freewheeling folding prop

Correct. Leave engine in neutral. Your keys should be on a welded ring. Take keys from ignition and switch on prop alternator key. Green light should show charging. To stop turn off and extract

Christian Alby,
Thanks for the initial update on your rebuilt Perkins. The Perkins 4-154 manual that I just checked is showing the normal oil pressure to be between 30-60 PSI or about 2.1- 4.2 bar
