The engine on Keeldragger failed while returning from Catalina Island to Los Angeles Harbor.0:14 The boat encountered 20-to-25-knot winds and sharp, choppy seas, which likely agitated sediment in the fuel tank.3:21 With the tank at approximately 50 percent capacity, the motion of the boat caused debris to clog the fuel system.3:44 Troubleshooting focused on the secondary fuel filter and the primary fuel-water separator.1:18 A vacuum gauge on the primary filter showed no suction, suggesting the blockage occurred elsewhere.1:14 After replacing the secondary filter and attempting to prime the system using an electric fuel pump, the engine failed to draw fuel.7:35 Adding 10 gallons of diesel to the tank did not resolve the issue, confirming the problem was not a low fuel level.8:43 The owner eventually identified a valve configuration issue that prevented the pump from drawing fuel from the tank.9:21 Proper valve alignment and filter maintenance are essential for clearing air and sediment from diesel fuel systems.
