Default Re: Fuel blockage on seafari

Fill tube and fuel supply tubes are side-by-side at the back of the tank, actually under the deck, just fore of the aft hatches.
That's just a bit different from mine. My fill tube is located just in front of the rear deck line, and the pickup is just aft of the deck line.

The gas pickup(elbow)fitting is pictured above....A pick-up tube did not come up with it when removed.
That's a problem. Check and see if you have a pickup tube attached to the welded-in fitting on the tank. If your pickup tube is not serviceable, you may have to put up $$ for a new tank

Location-wise does it sound like the fittings are in the right places?
Yeah, pretty much. I'd prefer the pickup out from under the rear deck. You might want to consider an access plate for that.

Then my fuel line goes into a 10 micron water-separating Sierra filter with a water drain on it.
Does that filter come like that and do you know the part number - I'd love to use the clear bowl system as opposed to my current sierra fuel/water separating filter?
Sierra Aqua View fuel fliter

If I'm understanding you correctly, your 30 micron particle filter is situated between tank and the fuel/water separator about 6" from the tank fitting?
That is correct. It is a clear plastic disposable filter with a paper element I purchased at Home Depot, like you see often used on industrial gas engines and lawn-mowers. I use it to catch particulate matter that may get into the tank before it gets to the water separator.
