We seem to have a’blow back’ past 1 of the injectors which is blowing a small amount of air (from the cylinder) back to the filter which after a while causes the engine to stop.

Hi all - any recommendations for somewhere to test and service fuel injectors from a Volvo Penta 2002 in the Poole area.

Philip the photo is of a 500. The rudder is a give away as are the handrails on the coachroof.

Thanks for the update - I am struggling with the same problem - no sign of life but all fuses seem OK - think I’ll have to bite the bullet ?

Decathlon do a waterproof pouch for about £7

I have used rope4boats in the past. Very good service.

Thanks Paul - yes there is a 'proper' filter on the engine as well. I had never come across a sediment filter in a boat before.

Cleaning through the fuel system in a First 305 with a VP2002 there is a pre-filter that is similar to the usual CAV water separator but has no filter element but a metal cone in the upper part. This cone is marked as 'sediment filter'. Is this normal? How does it work? Thanks for any help or...

Interesting that there are no recommendations - does that mean that there are not any suitable detectors/alarms

I had very good service from Clements Engineering. http://clementsengineering.co.uk

I have used a ratchet strap tightened round the othside of the tyre to create the seal. Once you have a bit of air in you release the strap and inflate normally

+1 for Clements. They made mine from measurements I supplied.
