¿Qué cubre este video?

Adam and Luke, sailing in Suva, Fiji, address multiple mechanical failures on their boat while docked at the Royal Suva Yacht Club.▶ 0:52 After discovering diesel contamination—specifically diesel bug—in their fuel tanks, they drill out the inspection hatches, remove the sludge, and clean the tanks manually.▶ 5:44 They simplify the fuel system by removing one of two water separators and installing new hoses.▶ 5:06 The pair also attempts to repair a leaking exhaust elbow by fabricating a custom rubber gasket and applying high-temperature RTV silicone sealant to bridge pitted metal surfaces.▶ 18:40 During these repairs, a mounting bolt snaps off in the engine block, requiring extraction and replacement with a spare.▶ 16:31 Additionally, the crew cancels a planned solar panel installation after discovering the delivered units were not the bifacial models they ordered.▶ 3:28 They now plan to service the boat's drive leg at the Suva workshop rather than traveling to Vuda Marina.▶ 19:34
