A California law firm this week filed a class action lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles, alleging oil companies failed to inform boat owners that ethanol causes damage to fiberglass fuel tanks.   The suit seeks to represent a class comprising all owners of boats with fiberglass fuel tanks who filled their tanks with ethanol-blended gasoline from a California retailer. The suit also seeks to represent all persons in California who own boats with fiberglass fuel tanks that had to be replaced because of damage caused by ethanol-blended gasoline bought from a California retailer.   The lawsuit, filed by Kabateck Brown Kellner, LLP, names major oil companies, including Chevron and Exxon Mobil Corp., as defendants.   Chevron said it has not yet been served with the lawsuit.   “As such, we are not in a position to comment,” said Lloyd Avram, Chevron media relations team leader.   According to court documents, Lawrence Turner, the plaintiff, bought ethanol-blended gasoline for his boat, which had a fiberglass fuel tank. Turner then discovered the ethanol in the gasoline began dissolving the boat's fiberglass fuel tank and caused damage to the boat's engine. The court documents said Turner was “forced to spend approximately $20,000 to fix the problems caused by the defendants' ethanol blended gasoline.”   "The price of gas is bad enough, but selling gasoline that dissolves gas tanks is a new low even for the oil companies," said Brian Kabateck, managing partner of Kabateck Brown Kellner and the lead attorney on the case, in a statement. "The oil companies know this fuel is corrosive, but they're keeping consumers in the dark to pump up their profits. The cost to the consumer is thousands of dollars in repairs."   Ethanol attracts water. When enough water is absorbed by the ethanol-blended gasoline, the ethanol and water solution separates from the gasoline, with the gasoline floating to the top. This results in a layer of water with a high concentration of ethanol at the bottom of the fuel tank.   There are many underground storage tanks that are made of fiberglass, but these were developed specifically to withstand ethanol.  The vast majority of fiberglass tanks on boats were not designed to withstand ethanol.

 Outboard Fuel Line Issues   We could not start our outboard engine.  WHAT'S WRONG??    Our outboard engine usually always starts on the first pull and it is not flooded.   Trying to pump fuel through the squeeze bulb was a waste of time as fuel would not fill the bulb.  Take the line off the engine and put a screw driver in the end and sometimes it would pump fuel and sometimes it would not.  So you have to figure it is an issue with the hose or the bulb.  All fittings were factory tight and when the hose was submerged in water no air bubbles when squeezing the bulb.  Let's just replace the hose. We got lucky and got the dinghy started.  Off to the local chandlery we go, it was about a mile walk from the dock.  We were towed back to the boat because again we could not get the outboard started. This is our second fuel hose on a two year old engine.  Anyway I removed the fittings without a lot of work and reinstalled them on the new hose with new clamps.  The outboard is now starting on the first pull again.   About three weeks have gone by, we are now having starting issues again.  Now what? I pull the spark plugs out and the engine is not flooded.  That leaves a fuel issue again. I start playing with the fuel line again, it can not be this, I'm saying to myself.  I pull off the engine side of the fuel line from the bulb and nothing seems wrong.  Put that back together and take the tank end of the hose off the bulb.  There's an issue, I can't blow through it.   So I pull off the tank fitting, there it is, about a ½” in you can see something blocking the hose.  So I cut off about 3 inches of that end, I still could not blow through it. Cut off another 3 inches and found that same looking blockage twisted up in the hose.  What is this junk, this $50.00 fuel hose is garbage.  This time I have a new idea, can I pull this blockage out?  I was able to get hold of enough of that stuff to pull it all out of the hose.  It's a plastic liner and was twisted in several spots.  I ran some fuel through the hose without the liner, now to get rid of the glue that was used to keep the liner in place and then the engine ran fine.   Hose three, that's what I said hose number three.  This has to be a fluke so I bought another new hose and will change it out the next time I have an issue.  Well later is here and guess what.  The outer hose on this new replacement has shrunk some and the thin plastic liner is sticking out both ends of the new hose.  That hose was almost $65.00 as we were again in another country.   I have since replaced the Outboard Fuel Hose with Automotive Fuel Hose and put a plastic wire loom over it to protect it from the UV rays.  I'm just hoping the squeeze bulb I reused does not have a liner in it.  So far so Good two months later, our outboard starts on the first pull.       Closeouts     Rebates    Remanufactured    Specials

Fuel Flow Monitor Part #: FFM100-01 Maretron's FFM100 provides precision fuel flow information to help optimize fuel consumption, which can save thousands of dollars in fuel operating cost. The FFM100 uses state-of-the-art, positive displacement metering technology for unprecedented accuracy. In fact, the accuracy of the FFM100 is nearly that of commercial vessel systems costing tens of thousands of dollars, yet the FFM100 cost less than existing recreational systems found on the market today. Additional benefits of the positive displacement metering technology are the elimination of flow conditioning components such as straighteners and pulsation dampers. Other flow meter technologies require flow conditioning components that increase system and installation cost. The FFM100 also uses true temperature compensation with embedded temperature sensors within the meters. The returning fuel is generally hotter than the supply fuel and if not properly compensated, inaccuracies as much as 5% can occur in computing the engine's fuel consumption. The FFM100 also detects momentary reverse flow in the fuel lines due to fluctuating pressure caused by the injection pump. Less accurate systems count the reverse fuel flow as part of the consumed fuel where the FFM100 properly accounts for momentary reverse flow. Lastly, the FFM100 can be used for fluid types other than fuel (e.g., water, oil, etc.) by ordering the appropriate flow sender. The FPM100 is NMEA 2000® certified so you can view any and all information anywhere on the vessel using a compatible NMEA 2000® display. The FFM100 is a key component of Maretron's N2KView® vessel monitoring and control system. Features: FFM100 converts a variety of flow senders (e.g., fuel, water, etc.) to NMEA 2000® Network Data All flow senders ordered separately depending on application (i.e., single fuel flow sender for gas engine, dual fuel flow senders for diesel engine, water flow sender for sea water, etc.) Fuel flow senders facilitates fuel consumption optimization for reduced fuel operating cost Fuel flow senders use positive displacement metering technology for superior accuracy over other measurement technology such as turbine meters Fuel flow senders do not require costly fuel conditioning components like flow straighteners and pulse dampers Fuel flow senders implement true temperature compensation with precision built-in thermistors for increased accuracy Fuel flow senders automatically detect reverse flow due to fluctuating pressure difference from injection pumps Fuel flow senders pass particle sizes up to 70 micrometers (diesel fuel filters normally filter down to 2 micrometers to prevent clogging injectors) WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals which are known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
