Engine Maintenance

(35 products)

Engine maintenance for boats is a crucial aspect of ensuring smooth and efficient sailing, particularly when it comes to diesel engines. One significant concern in marine diesel engines is the presence of the "diesel bug," a colloquial term for microbial contamination that can occur in the fuel system. This problem arises when water enters the fuel tank, creating an environment where bacteria, fungi, and yeast can thrive. These microorganisms feed on the hydrocarbons in the fuel and produce a sludge that can clog filters and damage the engine.
