Oops! Not fuel filter, fuel tank vent!While on fuel tank problems, let me bring up another that will strand you. Immediately after purchasing Terra Nova, I went on a club cruise from Port Angeles to Bremerton. Her engine stopped in the middle of the Port Townsend Cut in 5 knots of tide making for an exciting flush under the bridge and through the channel. A slow sail to Port got me to a fuel dock and 1.2 gallons topped me off. Under the Bainbridge Island Bridge, she died again. A Club tow to the fuel dock got me 1.2 gallons again. Strange? A group effort came up with a totally plugged fuel filter. The temporary solution was to punch the screen out of the vent. A new vent and I have not had a fuel problem since. The vent is now on the yearly check list.
