Thur, Aug 2: Mechanic showed about 10:30. Very nice guy. I showed him the Tartan fix and he zeroed in on the diesel vent line. He found two low spots in the line and said he wanted to route the hose lower than Tartan's suggested route. When he disconnected the line, two cups of diesel flowed out of it. "That could be a real issue." He rerouted the vent line, checked the rest of the system and discovered the smaller fuel line from the tank to the engine. "Hmm.... I think this line might be part of the problem too." After checking the Volvo spec it was indeed smaller than spec minimum diameter. So....he undid the fix the guy at Toronto did last year.
Gassed up before we left. All day long there had been a lineup at this gas dock reminiscent of Gordon's at Gan. When we pulled up we saw why. Non ethanol gas and offroad diesel for $3.67 a gallon. Filled her up and motored back to Burlington without as much as a hiccup, but we all know what evil lurks..
Had one last dinner with Colin at the Farm House Restaurant. Excellent food all from local farms.
