MY NAME IS 4.236, PERKI 4.236
Now it’s time for some real maintenance.
TUULI NEXT EPISODE
Deck is ready. Time for a nice engine treat. And a couple of hundred other things. But we’ll get there and still on schedule.
Etd will be at the end of April. Fingers crossed.
LIKE A FISH IN THE WATER
Lady Tuuli is back in the water and if you take a good look you can see her smiling.
This part of the project is done. The next stop is Sneek for a decent engine service and some little things 😉
SMOOTH OPERATING – PERKY
Still lots of work to do before we set course to Denmark or may be Norway or Sweden, but we’re getting there … some day. Last year we had the little fueltank cleaned (we’re not using the big one anymore), changed all the filters twice, flushed the engine with some special stuff to make things run even better. Changed the oil again after that. We changed the complete network of diesel hoses in the engine room, completed them with extra taps to be sure we can shut it all seperately off, including the Webasto and Dickinson heater. The two extra vent/bleed valves are great to get air out of the system if necessary.The engine strings are still ok. We’ve got everything in reserve. Tomorrow i’m going to replace the Separfilters again to be sure everything is still clean. The tank is full. Our Perkins (1977 – 4cil – 75HP) is running perfect and smoother than ever before. With only 7800 working hours the engine will probably keep running for at least another 47 years. Look at this beauty 🙂
