Re: Stus-List Dow Corning 795

[Dr. Mark Bodnar via CnC-List]

I was the one that used Pecora 895 to replace the plexi windows on my CS 
30.  I bought it locally in Halifax NS (Arrow construction in Burnside) 
plus used the 3M VHB tape with no screws/bolts or frames


That was spring 2017 - and my windows are still in great shape - no 
cracks in the sealant and no signs of leaks.

Bill,
 I have not used 795 but someone here on the list found Pecora 895 
which is supposed to be a very similar product.


I did a window job over 10 years ago and used Sika 295 UV with the 
Sika Primer.windows without frames or screws/bolts are still in 
tack and water tight.

Has anyone use an alternative to 795 for the plexiglass seal?

Re: Stus-List Yanmar 2GMF20F fuel seepage at high pressure pump?

[Josh Muckley via CnC-List]

Dave,
First of all this location looks challenging at best.  The problem with
these fittings is that there are 2 stacked in series.  The lower one holds
the pump pistons and spring in place.  It is sealed with a copper washer
and the tiniest movement in the counter clockwise direction will allow fuel
to leak out the threads.  This will usually occur unwittingly while trying
to loosen the top fitting.  It is hard to know which fitting is leaking.
The top fitting can simply be tightened but if the  bottom is loose then
the two of them turn together, often times twisting the fuel pipe.  The
best way is to hold the bottom while loosening the top.  This allows you to
then tighten the bottom fitting without twisting the fuel line.  Once tight
go ahead and retighten the top fitting. There is probably a torque spec
which I might be able to find for you.

The saving grace in your case is that it is not the inside port (#2).  That
one usually requires you to remove the first (#1) so that you can access it
properly.

I can probably find pictures and torque specs if you need them.  Just let
me know.

Re: Stus-List Yanmar 2GMF20F fuel seepage at high pressure pump?

[Dave S via CnC-List]

Used ye olde baby powder trick and can see that the leak is at the base of the 
forward high pressure outlet.

Would appreciate any thoughts on cause and remedy.  Thanks!

Greetings all.
This is getting harder to ignore
windstar’s engine is seeping in the area of the high pressure fuel pump.   
Diesel collects around the serial number shown in the photo (link below) and 
slowly migrates down the starboard side of the engine.
