Hi, John
My thoughts are turning to heating again. Butler Technik have a very good offer on for Eberspacher.
https://www.butlertechnik.com/marine-heater-kits-c55/2kw-air-heaters-c56/eberspa...Still almost £1000 but better than I've seen elsewhere. Apparently they have made up the kit themselves from the marine parts hence a saving of about £400.
It looks as if I could install it in the engine bay on the starboard side but I'm wondering about fuel source.
I have a 22 litre steel diesel tank at the front of the cockpit locker. Now that isn't very large.
John, what is your installation like? What is your fuel capacity and have you taken feed off the main tank or what? I had toyed with the idea of a separate say 10 litre tank but Butler Technic tell me that their one isn't for marine use!
https://www.butlertechnik.com/installation-accessories-c63/fuel-line-accessories...Pity. I don't see why it isn't ok for marine use. I keep two 10 litre plastic jerry cans with diesel in my cockpit locker for refueling when I can't get to a pump, so surely it's be better than that!
Heating would be my final improvement to Harlequin but it'd make early/late season sailing much nicer and winter sailing a possibility.
Has anyone replaced their fuel tank with a bespoke larger stainless steel one? If so how much was it and who made it for you.
Thanks
Justin
