160: Marine Diesel Fuel System - Tank Contamination, Corrosion Comprehensive Cause and Effect

Fuel Tanks Crisis Part 2; Tanks Welded, Returned, and Installed we tackle the seldom mention and much misunderstood causes and prevention of marine diesel system fuel tank corrosion. This is a BIG PROBLEM; however, not much has been mentioned or known because the issues are mostly hidden and hard to get to so when the tank starts dripping, it's too late and it has to be removed and repaired or replaced which is a big disruption and expensive but thankfully mostly preventative if you catch it early or start good preventative measures once you repair or replace your tanks. In this video we will discuss the following causes of corrosion in marine diesel fuel system tanks: - Short Term Thinking - Enemy number one which is water - H2O - Microbial or Microbiologically Induce Corrosion also known as MIC - Five Stages - Stage 1 Attachment - Stage 2 Biofilm Growth - Stage 3 Growth - Stage 4 Biofilm Properties - Stage 5 Sloughing Phase - Tooth Decay Analogy - Debunk and Prove False the Algae Myth - Debunk and Prove False the Biocide Myth - What Are The Causes of Galvanic Corrosion Next week we will discuss in part 2 of 2 how to prevent corrosion in diesel so stay tuned! Make sure to also watch part 1 and 3 of this three part series for the whole story.

Fuel Right #sailing #sailboat #sailingprojects NEW TO OUR CHANNEL? We are Eileen and Brown Councill. Welcome to our channel and a glimpse into our life adventure! 2020 was a year of uncertainty and change (for all of us, right?), but we overcame the challenges and decided it was time to chase our dream, to sail around the world! Did I mention that we had very NO sailing experience? Before leaving Qingdao, China, our home of 4 years, we sold almost all of our earthly possessions and started our international search to find the right sailboat that we would call "home." After 5 months of unanticipated twists and turns, we found what we were looking for, a used Leopard 44' Catamaran located in St. Lucia. So, here begins our journey, filled with unmatched excitement and honestly, a bit of trepidation as well. We have much to learn as we travel the world on our floating home and we intend to document that journey and share it with you. We are so glad you have decided to join us, and we hope that you will find our story so compelling that it will inspire you to chase your dreams too!
