Much love for the knowledge base on this site! New-to-us Grady 282 owner, tackled a lot of work to catch up on some deferred maintenance from the previous owners including a full bottom job.
Learning about 282 fuel tank, water/fuel issues with E10, and other general fuel system concerns, we pulled the Perko fuel fill caps.
Yup, no O-rings on either tank, and the seller had made it clear they had bad fuel removed from the main tank at the end of last summer.
Start it off 2015 right!
Put new O-rings on your fuel fill and water caps!
Inexpensive insurance against a major source of water in fuel tanks!
