Anyone else had a phone call today from Penarth Marina ? I had a call from CBYC this morning asking me to ring the marina, seems they've had an issue with the last petrol delivery and it's got a load of red diesel in it /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif As yet they don't know how much diesel was in there though, once they do a course of action will be decided for those affected.
We've got half a tank of it (85 litres) and had noticed some smoke round the back on tickover and it running a bit lumpy, but put it down to our run to the Severn Bridge being the first proper run it's had for a while.
I guess anyone that's taken petrol from there in the last 2 weeks and hasn't had a call had best ring them, they're doing their best to contact every affected boat but if you're not from cardiff bay you may get missed. This is only for those that have PETROL engines though, not dismals. In most cases I'd hazard a guess that a fuel drain and refill, with perhaps a plug & filter change at worst should cure it.
Cheers
