| 597 | skopje179 | Yam fuel flow meter acting up | 9/6/2005 21:48:00 | |
One of the two Yam flow meters on my 2510 is acting up. I had water in the fuel about a month ago, and pumped out about a gallon through the fuel pickups. Caught more water in the fuel-water separator bowls. After the first 30 minutes of running the boat, no more water is appearing in the bowls. On the first trip out after the water was removed, the starboard flow meter registered way low. At 3800 rpm, the port engine shows about 4.5 gph, but the starboard engine is showing about 1.7 gph. Before the water, at 3800 rpm, each motor would burn about 4.5 ghp for a total burn of 9.0 gph. Could a bit of water be trapped in the flow meter causing the low registration? If so, how do I get it out? Should I dismount it and try to dump it out? Or could I disconnect the inlet and outlet, and pump pure ethanol (dry-gas) through the unit? | ||||
