Hi Mike, I see your point on additional source of petroleum products..
Coming from a gas burning boat engine past I inquired about that when I first got the boat, "You don't need one with a diesel" is the answer I got. Also, there is no blower or any indication that there ever was one installed on my boat. Apparently, C&C didn't think it was needed and the applicable laws at the time of certification did not require it. I don't carry gasoline on board / my dinghy is a kayak. But if I was cruising with cans full of gasoline in my lazarette, it's hard to argue that it would not be a good idea to vent the area before starting the engine....

So if you are a cruiser and carry various petroleum products I would recommend running the blower. Also my coast guards friends to the south asked me in a had a blower and requested I turn it on when I was boarded for an inspection Mike > On Sep 30, 2019, at 10:55 AM, Francois Rivard via CnC-List < [email protected]> wrote: > > When to run a blower with a Diesel? > > Never.
