In the old days before diesel was winterized it was SOP to add 10% gas to your diesel tank, then fill with diesel (insures mixing). This was done to prevent the diesel from jelling. Michael Cotton S/V  M'aisling On Tuesday, August 5, 2014 4:20 PM, Josh Muckley via CnC-List

Re: Stus-List CC 37/40 + Pricing

These are beautiful fast boats but very poorly constructed. Backstay chain plates are a known weak point . The Tabling from hull to bulkhead is spotty. Owned one - never again. Michael Cotton Ex 37+ c/b owner On Thursday, September 25, 2014 10:27 PM, Us via CnC-List cnc-list@cnc-list.com

Before you go do all that work and expense test the glow plugs. Use a digital laser thermometer and with a cold engine activate the glow plugs. Maybe even do it twice. Aim the laser thermometer at each glow plug. If you see any temp rise that glow plug is working. Glow plugs are 100% or 0%
