Diesel Bug Alert

The RNLI have issued a warning to all mariners that the diesel bug is on the increase.

EU legislation has increased bio-diesel in our fuel and the diesel bug is having a beanfeast!

The RNLI anticipate more callouts due to engine failure as filters will clog more quickly as the bug thrives.

Reduce the risk of diesel bug:

Check there is no water in your fuel
Use a fuel additive to kill the diesel bug
Always buy good quality diesel
Carry spare filters & know how to change them (& bleed the system) at sea

Our next Diesel engine course is on Saturday 24th September.
