Boaters Beware of Bad Gas on the Pungo
06 June 2013
According to our fuel inspector, the gas we took on in Belhaven, was full of rust particles and gunk. Our gas tank will be emptied and we will have to completely refuel with new diesel. The diesel was so disgusting that Miguel took a jar to his supervisor because they could not believe the contents!
Imagine the relief of knowing what has been our problem. We will change our filters more often and make sure we don't ever stop at River Forest Marina. We should have known better as the owner has the reputation that for years he has not invested in upkeep and maintenance on his property.
John is so relieved. Me? I am tracking the storm but it looks like by the time the rain and wind get here it will be less than 45 mph, which is not so bad. But we will get wet.
