Sailboat Fuel Transfer at Sea, Patrick Childress Sailing (Sailboat How To Videos)#3

Another Sailboat How To Video: How to transfer diesel fuel into the main tank without making a mess, at sea. Circumnavigator Patrick Childress demonstrates how to transfer fuel at sea, on an offshore passage, in his proven Bluewater sailboat, Brick House. Brick House carries between 4 and 12 jerry cans on deck on a long passage, and sometimes it is not easy getting them in to the tanks without spilling a drop, but here is how to do it. 1 Chafe Protection and Port Leaks https://youtu.be/NPmMLxALjf4 2 More on Chafe Protection https://youtu.be/3MJegBCZEdQ 3 Sailboat Fuel Transfer at Sea https://youtu.be/GDmV-VemaXU 4 Anemometer Lubrication https://youtu.be/2xATulCi3hE 5 Anemometer Bearing Lubrication https://youtu.be/P_9pZX1LjyE 6 How to measure/mix 2 part https://youtu.be/O7wKT8de7Dw 7 Install a new Backstay https://youtu.be/O7wKT8de7Dw 8 Introduction to Patrick Childress https://youtu.be/O7wKT8de7Dw 9 Stop the Clang on the Mast https://youtu.be/8Wi4X6UytY8 10 Sailboat Burglar Alarm https://youtu.be/pi0zpy7CH5o 11 Sailboat Refrigeration/Seafrost https://youtu.be/2RqO2XCmtOI 12 Cleaning the bottom, Propspeed, and Mantus Anchor Hook https://youtu.be/yLNYZDusvaE 13 Indian Ocean Preparations https://youtu.be/MlNDoW9RSpI 14 Chagos,AIS, Fuel Siphon, Squalls https://youtu.be/J8xd7CcbECk 15 Sailing Chagos, Monitor Windvane, jib block, , Racor Fuel Filter system https://youtu.be/xKc7chnn6Sw 16 Survive on a Deserted Island: Water https://youtu.be/4tfme-zmGpU 17 Survive on a Deserted Island: Coconuts https://youtu.be/3Xt8Ccm9oW0 18 Survive on a deserted island: Coconut Crabs https://youtu.be/amXYmo0DtrQ 19 Sailing to Rodrigues Island Mauritius https://youtu.be/qLSXkTxLRzM 20 Provisioning for Sailing an Ocean https://youtu.be/bZYRQpcIY60 21 New headstay after Profurl Roller Furling https://youtu.be/VPwrbg9NEYA 22 GalleyTips for Sailing an Ocean https://youtu.be/RqtMEjMZJA0 23 Glue a sail repair at sea https://youtu.be/ge3FcEiYl4w 24 Best Dinghy for Bluewater Sailboats https://youtu.be/YWPhSoIPXyE 25 7 Sailing Tips https://youtu.be/HJu26X6b8p8 26 3 Sailing Tips for Bluewater Sailboats https://youtu.be/Tcz7ZidQu-U 27 Sailboat Plumbing Replacement https://youtu.be/5vXzPmlZKto 28 Flares as Self Defense against Pirates, Reef hook, mainsail reefing and Deck scuppers https://youtu.be/lakH18f2_tA 29 Mikumi National Park Safari https://youtu.be/OYZuPcGKgto 30 Brick House Valiant 40 Tour Abovedeck https://youtu.be/vT6qZtij6us 31 Brick House Valiant 40 Tour Belowdeck https://youtu.be/g-SCowpKCWw 32 Brick House Valiant 40 Tour Below Deck #2 https://youtu.be/bRofFfb37eg Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SVBrickHouse/ Twitter: @SYBrickHouse Blog http://www.WhereIsBrickHouse.com/About See more sailing videos at Http://www.youtube.com/patrickchildress **As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases** #PatrickChildressSailing #WhereisBrickHouse #BluewaterSailing

Thanks for the video Patrick. I have recently become interested in sailing, and am watching as many videos as possible to absorb info. It is your channel, and I appreciate the work you put in, and the fact that it is there for me to learn, so please don't take this the wrong way! This video could have been a bit better if you could have added voice over when editing. Maybe your situation doesn't make that an easy task, or you don't have the equipment, so keep on posting regardless! I have just watched a lot of videos over the last months, and trying to listen to people talk over wind noise is unbearable, which is why I assume you added the notations.
Again, I love the stuff you are posting, keep it up!

+Patrick Childress Sailing Thanks for the reply. I have made a few videos from my canoe trips, so I know how much time is involved, and the trials of learning video editing! Pretty cool that you are on the coast of Africa, and we can communicate through this channel. Keep on living my dream!

Thank you for your critique. I know a lot about sailing but I started from ground zero with videos. I had never before taken a video with my Canon camera. I have gotten callouses on the brain from the long hours of learning and experimenting with the editing process. Production wise, the newer videos are better than those earlier ones. Wind noise is a major problem. Where we have been sailing in the Indian Ocean, and now the east coast of Africa, it is far too expensive to have any simple things, like a proper microphone, shipped in and such simple things found in America or Australia, are not available here.  I have started doing far more voice overs because of wind noise.....or worse, the terrible, broken, audio on my GoPro camera. That audio is totally unusable. Background music levels are a real challenge especially since my hearing is so bad. My wife has laser hearing so understand speech with a lot of background noise is no problem for her. This makes us a bad team for setting audio and music levels. I always appreciate feedback for audio levels. ....So hopefully viewers will gain something from the videos but I definitely learn from their feedback. Thanks again

A better way is to use a jiggle siphon hose.

what do you do with leftover fuel from filter that you have in plastic bottle? Do you put it back in a canister?

+Patrick Childress Sailing that answers three questions at once :-) I cannot thank you enough Patrick for sharing all your years of experience and your honest answers

Hi Taras, Thanks for watching. If I have used engine oil on board, I mix the fuel into the old oil and dispose of it at the next developed city we stop at. Otherwise, it is used to help burn our garbage on a remote island.

Thanks for making and posting the video. Great to see the fuel is being filtered even before going into the tank.

Patrick Childress Sailing - 6 years ago
thank you for the comment. I could never blame my fuel problems on "bad fuel" put on at the dock. The filter does a good job of separating out water and contaminates whether from a dock pump or what might accumulate in the jugs stored on deck. Kicking up the level of biocide in my two diesel tanks and draining the contaminates from the Racor filter is taking care of the contaminated fuel problem perpetrated by not adding enough biocide while in S.E. Asia. Right now we are in Rodrigues, east of Madagascar, and all is well.

Good video Patrick, are both the fillers fuel, do you have two separate tanks?
Patrick Childress Sailing
Patrick Childress Sailing - 6 years ago
Hi John, Thanks for the positive. Yes, there are 2 tanks on Brick House. This boat is vintage 1976 and eventually the one original tank was replaced by 2 tanks. I like 2 tanks as it helps to balance and distribute the weight. Normally this boat will list to port so we use the fuel and water, first from the port tanks.
