O que este vídeo aborda

A solo sailor accidentally siphoned five gallons of diesel into the integral water tank of the 30-foot-plus sailboat Triteia while preparing for a passage from Banda to Wakatobi, Indonesia.13:31 Because diesel is less dense than water, the fuel floated on the surface, contaminating the entire 30-gallon supply.13:58 The crew diverted 60 miles to Ambon to perform an emergency tank cleaning.14:50 Using a submersible pump from their fuel polishing system, they drained the diesel layer into a jerry can.16:08 They then accessed the tank through three built-in inspection ports, manually wiping all surfaces with paper towels to remove the remaining film.16:25 After scrubbing the interior with vinegar to eliminate the oily residue and smell, they refilled the tank with 40 gallons of fresh water.16:45 The system tested clean with no residual diesel taste.18:15 The crew then departed Ambon for the 280-mile passage to Wakatobi.18:51
