Diesel Bug and Marine 16 treatment - is it working?

[Mid]

I am not sure that is right in my situation.

I want the slopping to occur.

I am not sure that is right in my situation.  I am confident that the whole tank is a none growth area given my diligence with biocide

 The problem is that a full tank does not get agitated.

we have had easterlies for  a mon th so the mooring is quite rough. I want the slopping to occur.

Of coure none of this applies to people who can open a tank hatch and have a look and a scrub which is the way a rational person would design and fit a massive stainless steel fuel tank.  As owners of old boats we are often forced to sail with other peoples design foibles

This thread and associated experiment with M16 is now over 16 months old. I think you're past the agitation stage, Dylan. Whatever good it may have done is done. At this point, I'd be trying to minimize new growth and that means continued treatment with biocide, topped up tanks to minimize condensation, and fresh o-ring(s) on the fill cap(s) to keep liquid water from getting into the tank.

Say, Dylan. We were watching episode 2 of Annika on PBS Masterpiece Theatre. There is a Fisher with a body in the beginning that they tow to the docks. It subsequently blows to bits: It looks just like yours, green.

Is it the Fischer 25? It has great drama appeal in the lens.

I am innocent..... 

I hope they did not really blow a fisher up -  big slice of a drama budget.

Green is an unlucky colour for a boat apparently.

Mine started grey - then it was painted at some stage and it is slowly reverting to grey.

It certainly looked like the 25. What threw me was when the film cut to the stiff inside the boat.

He was supine in the middle of the boat and it looked larger, like a 30'. But I think the Fischers have the same details above decks. Fisher's went up in popularity on that series alone. They did not blow up the actual boat, the green boat is now famous.
