Thas seem to be a very clever tool to have. I’m guessing it’s something Amel added to the standard delivery when the A55 was introduced. Can anyone discover a part number for this tool? I’d like

Arlo, I did mine some years ago. I found solid rubber stripping about 10mm X 20mm from a rubber supply shop.

Hi Ian and Judy, I also use the same filter that you specified. I use 2 micron filters in the racor with no problems. Fair Winds Eric Kimberlite Amel Super Maramu #376

Hi Eric , You’re right . When we bought Pen Azen we had Amel fit a big truck filter in line with the diesel intake . In the starboard cockpit locker we have a cock in the diesel hose which allows

Dear Ahmet; How are you? I might be interested in your instruments as spare parts for mine… I will call you from your GSM See you Regards; Seckin Barlas SY HAYAT

Hi Erik, I am not on the boat now. From memory the fuel exits the bottom of the tank directly to the Racors but There is no valve on a lower sump. I could drain off the Racor filter very easily. I

Hi Nick, On Kimberlite the tank drains from the bottom. Is it different on the 54? Fair Winds Eric Kimberlite Amel Super Maramu #376

Thanks, everybody! I'll clear those drain holes at the bottom of the companionway board box when I get back to the boat (say THAT 10 times fast). Going to make a "Gary Flapper", too! -Bode

Thanks for the feedback. So the general consensus is that additional polishing is not required as the Racor primary filter plus engine filter is fine. So long as one takes the usual precautions. In

It’s bronze - but it has a silver shine to it. There was heavy wear on the bushing when I took it out after 750 hours. Both the old bushing from 2016 and the new spare i just received have the

Hello all. I am re-coating the inside of my lockers with gelcoat. While doing this, I am looking to also replace the rubber gaskets on the forward and aft lockers as well as the cockpit lockers.

Thanks for the story and the photo Jorge, I also have the tools, but in the excitement of delivery, neglected to label them. John Devereux Amel 55, No. 65

Joerg, I've not seen that before. Seems you have a stainless bushing (bague d'usure) with threaded holes in the face...ours have always been bronze with no threaded holes, but always easy to remove.

Hello fellow Amel Owners, I have the D3 110 HP Volvo fitted to most 54’s. I am thinking fuel polishing. I was wondering how much fuel is returned to the tank under normal motoring. So for example

Hi Ian and Judy, You forgot to mention your pre-fill filtering system. Thank you so much for that idea. I think I have about 86,000 miles on Kimberlite and never had a problem. Fair Winds, Eric Sm 376

Hi, Wouldn't it be counterproductive to filter the diesel and put it right back into the tank? We use a shaker siphon (costs about 10€) with a weight on one end to get down to the gook. As being

I just completed servicing the Amel drive on my A55 for the first time. It was a difficult experience. Trying to get the bushing out was very hard and the official Amel instructions didn't provide

Since we are now 50% through a circumnavigation we have been very happy to have a fuel polishing system on board when some other yachts travelling through Indonesia with us experienced fuel

35,000 miles and around the world I only had to throw the valve on the double Racor once, and never lost power. Best, CW Bill Rouse 720 Winnie St Galveston Island, TX 77550 +1(832) 380-4970

Hi Ian, thanks for this. I was going to say the same but not knowing the number. I was once trouble shooting a fuel issue and rigged a 5 litre mini tank on the supply side, leaving the fuel return
