Any decent RYA School will be able to assist you with this. Speak to them and outline your experience and qualifications, they will work with you to get you to where you want to be. If trying to gain your YM (Power) via a YM (Sail) to Power conversion course you will be expected to have a very...

The information the Princes web site says that our 368 has tanks holding 1000Ltr's. Last year I had Stainless Steele tanks made to the exact spec of the old tanks and on filling, the first time, they only took 850 lt.'s (between both tanks)!

Had a great trip over to Guernsey. Calm seas and sunshine pretty much all the way. Left Lymington at 0715 and arrived in St Peter Port at 1230. Spending a few more days here and then home :)

Hi Crossy Thats exactly where I am... Simon and Dean of SDM came out and I have exactly the same tank issues. I have been considering having th engines removed for a short while so I may have to bring my plans forward to do exactly as you describe.

Thanks, I am am taking him up on his kind offer. Hoping to spend some time on Friday using his polisher and technique. Will report back once the operation is complete ��

UPDATE Having taken a sample and added Marine 16 yesterday, this is the result today: I am ordering the parts to build something similar to superheat6K fuel polishing rig. I have some guys coming round tomorrow to have a look at the tanks to see if the access is good enough to can get them...

Hi Superheat6k I like the look of your setup, not too expensive and not too bulky either. In the last image; is the ball valve attached to copper pipe? Thanks for sharing your setup :) Paul
