Hello, I have a Norwegian Motor boat from 1986 with a diesel engine Yanmar 2gm. In my boat runs from the top of a metal tank for the diesel, a copper pipe and extends downwardly to a water separator and from there to the motor, which is below of the tank. I can not see anywhere a fuel tap.

I can not imagine that there is no fuel cock, because sometimes you have to change the fuel filter and there may be other reasons for stopping.

Is here by chance someone who has a Hasla 21 with a Yanmar 1GM / 2GM / 3GM and a similar fuel supply?

If it has a dip tube instead of bottom feed there may be an anti syphon valve in it to prevent syphoning in the case of a leak or filter change, many older US boats had them. Not too difficult to fit a stopcock if you need one though.
