One tank run through
Well a more powerful drill and the fuel poured through at quite a rate,
I did notice air in the pipe (used clear re-enforced so could see what was happening) so tightened up some of the nuts on the filter which stopped the air, hmmm couldn't have helped.
Anyway a couple of hours worth and checked the filter and no sludge, just a pink element in the filter. Dosed the stbd tank ran up both engines and bled them tightened the filters as much as i dare and bled them again.
Nearly pulled the jetty down as increased revs to bring in the boost gauge and she held the revs and the boost stayed stable. Opened throttle wide and she still didn't falter, lots of soot so overloaded tied up obviously.
just need to get out for the test run, gulp!!
