Hi all, Im trying to bleed my engine the thing is Ive just put 30l into the tank ,which wasn't empty as my diesel heater was working before, and when I suck on the pipe that goes between the tank and the Primary fuel filter I am hearing a slurping noise like when you get to the end of a soft drink with a straw. i can get fuel if i suck hard enough but as soon as i stop sucking and form a seal with my mouth the fuel returns to the tank.
My questions are;
- Surely over 30l would be enough to reach my fuel pick ups?
- Normally fuel pickups inside the tank stainless? Could the pick up inside of been corroded and has holes in it?
-is it common for the tanks to rot and leak the fuel inside the boat somewhere? Is the Tank double skinned and is leaking into the second cavity?
