05/SET/2016 I did the trip between Algarve and Lisbon in my 470e (FREEDOM), 130 NM, always with the engine running, without any problem. I arrived on the 16/August/2016, the fuel tank have, aprox., 110 lt.. Last Sunday, 04/SET/2016, I intend to go out to sea. I start the engine, and immediately the engine starts to loose REV and goes down. On May/2016, I changed the diesel Filters ans checked the interior of fuel tank (100% clean) because the engine had the same behavior, just out of Barcelona. I used Hanmar mechanics in CASTELON-SPAIN. The true is that we don't descover nothing that could be responsible for this failure!!! Scaring!!! It's also true that I did 100hr engine running from Castelon to Lisboa without any kind of engine problems. After this trip, I did 50 more hours without problems. I've been using the boat every day, maximum 6 ou 7 days unattended. I think that the problem can be related with an entrance of Air in the circuit when I leave the boat alone for, at least, 2 weeks. Note: Since my first contact with my "new" boat 470e, May/2016, it happened to me 2 or 3 times, trying to start the engine and it goes down immediately and only on the second attempt it starts to work properly. I never saw this Behavior on Diesel Engines!! Someone has experience in this matter? Regards, Pedro Mendes Pinto Hanse 470e FREEDOM |

Fuel lift pump diaphragm failing maybe? Can bypass it with an electrical fuel pump if necessary.

Systematic check suggested.
Need to see if fuel is getting through as suggested. So take the pipe off the lift pump and see if it flows. Also could check pressure at the injectors however this looks like a restricted flow problem. Could be secondary or primary filter but you said you changed filters, both? Good luck. |

Have you checked the glass bowl to make sure water hasn't got in to the pipes ?

Dear Sir, We found a very very small leak in the Diesel PreFilter. We change the element and all the rubbers and we solve the problem. Regards,
