  1. There are companies who specialise in this. I believe a modern diesel can blow seals and have fuel pump issues if running petrol. Hence, stop and have it dealt with, don't drive! Thus, I think there are a number of mobile specialists who come out and sort at your location.

    Good luck,

  2. I ended up cleaning up at the club Xmas do raffle, then win the Open the next day, plotter / FF combo and various plus, a few hundred quid in pools for biggest flat fish etc.

    The following years I was handicapped by being forced to run it!

  3. Hi ive got a quick silver 640 with a 90 mariner it's holds approx 100 litres and I could bring 2 extra drums that hold a total of 70 lrtrs do you think I'd make it there and back lol ive not been any where that's as far as that yet and I'm not sure what sort of mpg my boats doing lolĀ 
    Sounds like if you use half a tank (50 litres) getting there, you have half a tank left for drifts and then 70 for the way home, just run efficiently as you can and don't blast back up the drift as the tide can be pushing hard. Just stick to you usual cruising revs.

    As already said, there is Portland marina close by for a top up.

    Using the plotter to reset at the start of a trip, and then calculating the fuel used is something you should know. Then if you do 1 / 1.25 / 1.5 / 2 litres per mile it's a quick sum and you know what is expected. Just remember, if weather changes you can use 30/50% more fuel if it gets really rough.

    Sunday I think we did 70/80 miles in total.
