Hello,
Cold's coming. I'm wintering aboard my 27 Bristol
in Belfast Maine this year. Last year I installed a
Dickinson heater and used a Nauta flexible tank in the
chain locker/forepeak. It worked, but I was glad to tear it out and
say good bye.
I'm trying to make a 5 gallon jerry can gravity feed the stove with a
primer bulb
but it won't maintain a steady flow rate no matter how I tweak the
vent cap.
I'd like to make the jerry can work because I'll be hauling my diesel
and with two cans I can just switch them out and keep things simple.
Also the jerry can on the roof
near the stove pipe may keep the fuel warmer. last year in Portland
on the coldest nights
the diesel flowed poorly and when you most needed the heat - you got
the least. 50% whack with kero
helped but not enough.
Brrr.
I saw one link on a military jerry can with a spout that _might_ work.

Anyone have any suggestions for a getting gravity flow out of a jerry
can?
Or can anyone suggest a DIY approach to making a tank affordably.
Many thanks-
