    Dirty Fuel Tank on a 26-2

    Dear Ericson Colleagues, My 1986 Ericson 26-2 had her Westerbeake 10HP working flawlessly until a vigorous sporty sail in a recent long distance race with lots of healing. Turns out that the fuel filters clogged up. After changing them, they clogged up again almost immediately. Well, the best...

    ***Fuel sending unit question on 1975 32-2***

    Hello! Total newbie here but hoping someone might be able to answer this question about my recently acquired 1975 32-2 Hull #323 with a 3-cylinder Universal (?) Diesel: There's a non-working fuel gauge by the RPM gauge and throttle, but I can't seem to find a fuel level sending unit anywhere on...

    Oh dear air vent, why doth thou leak?????

    It started a few years ago when my boat destroyed its tether and ran aground, resting on the diesel intake side. I noticed some leakage and cleaned it up. A consult with help said that sometimes the diesel will flow out of air vent at that extreme angle, and apparently elsewhere since there was...

    1986 35-3 Fuel Tank Quarter Berth water leak

My last sailboat was a MacGregor 19 powersailer and right now I'm feeling a tad overwhelmed but still managing...

    E29 Fuel tank removal

    Has anyone removed the fuel tank from their E29? I'm wondering how much trouble it will be and whether it will come out through the cockpit seat opening. Bonus if you have any photos! Thank you.

    Fuel Tank Removal E 38-200

    How hard is this one? I want to thoroughly clean out the tank as I am getting sludge in my primary filter. Other option is to have someone like Petroscrub come and clean it but cost is not yet known. Assuming the tank is emptied how hard is it to physically get it out of the boat? Thanks...
