No, many of the components are uprated abd some are only available to the marinised engine and while some may share the same dimensions between the auto, industrial, and marine engines and the components look the same, they are not and it comes down to different material specifications. Most...

Bilt Hamber is first rate and leads the way in eco products which work and they are BRITISH which is a bonus, not foreign bought in and rebadged.

Snow foam is water soluble and many are non toxic and you can safely let it into water.

You can get repair kits for them and they include things like the brushes and the little masties which either break or wear out. Never oil them, use a graphite stick or pencil to lugricate them.

Dowty washers are designed for hydraulics and high pressures and as such are designed to be crushed slightly to seal them. For your application I doubt you would get sufficient clamping torque to crush them so I wouls stick to a copper washer and get a pack as they cost very little.

Several issues here. If you have an estate or hatchback you cannot legally carry petrol in them and in many cars with boots now you cannot carry petrol as the C&U regulations state you must have a steel bulkhead between the boot carrying the petrol and the passenger compartment and many saloons...

I use Bilt Hamber as it appears to be the best yet.
