ALBIN 28 TE ( Scotland) Advice

Post by Misterpilot72 »

Hi

Just recently bought an Albin 28 TE with a 370hp Cummins.

Can anybody advise how to lift the deck hatch to inspect the fuel tank ?

Does the fuel tank have inspection lids ?

Leaking side wheelhouse windows does anybody have any history in these ?

Regards

Welcome to the group Mark. I have a 2001with a 370b. Vessel has a Gatsby rear seat. To access the tank I removed the screwed down portion of the rear deck (aft of engine box). This involves re-sealing with silicone when re installing. (Not fun). There is an tank inspection port where the fuel feeds and fuel gauge enter tank. When removed hole it is large enough to allow you to view the centre compartment of the tank. I had algae problem which required the cutting of additional inspection ports to access balance of tank for cleaning. I considered installing an inspection lid in deck but its still on the list.

I’m currently away in the Canary Islands getting some winter sun. Drop me a DM with your number in and I’ll give you a call when I get back to the UK.

If you need a tank diagram I have a PDF from the tank manufacturer Luther.

Go to the document library - there is a drawing of the fuel tank.
