Article Abstract:

Preventive maintenance of marine diesel engines begin with the fuel and fuel systems, since any contaminants in the fuel can bring about a reduction in the efficiency of the engine. Fuel systems can be kept clean by filtration, the use of additives or biocides to prevent microorganisms from fouling the lines.

Refrigeration: what you need to know

Article Abstract:

Sailors should choose a cost-effective refrigerator whose type, size and design fit its intended use. A flat-plate system is best for iceboxes with high Btu rating, temperate waters and a limited budget, while a holding-plate system is ideal for live-aboard or long-distance cruising in tropical waters.
