    Urgent help - nearly broke down at sea. Fuel Problem.

    True but after removing the ball bearing and spring from the asv the filter seems full again. Well 3/4 full as opposed to near empty. I take it they shouldn’t be full to the top.

    Urgent help - nearly broke down at sea. Fuel Problem.

    Thanks for the speedy reply. Checked for vacuum in the tank - not present. No hiss when opening the fuel filler slowly. as for the test of the anti siphon valve, I take it that for a correctly working one blowing tank to pump direction should be open but pump to tank should be closed ? dock...

    What can cause this to shift bellows ?

    This was also in salt water. The boat was put on a ship from Liverpool uk to Athens Greece after I fixed her up in an outdoor boat yard in Liverpool. I can only think that a rodent did it and hope that someone can chime in with any other possibilities
