Re: is BBB kaput / How do I fit a Victron
If you are talking about the fuse inside the box - I think that it is 2A going by previous posts.

Re: is BBB kaput / How do I fit a Victron
Yes. If you have checked that it has continuity that is fine. This blows if the coil overheats, usually around 130 deg.
Will need to search elsewhere then.

Have you checked the thermal fuse in the bottom pic?

Re: Colortune
I used to use one in the 70's for my bikes also! Still managed to burn a hole in a piston when a carb went out of tune on a 200 mile run. Are they really that price now?
I now use a gas analyzer.

Re: was this an earth problem ?
I would take a wild guess at the fact that somehow you have put all the starter power through the braid due to the lack of another earth!
Who knows what route the power took to get there.

Re: Voltage Stabilizer
Stolen a pic from an old post, you can see it mounted upside down - you can't see a heatsink though so I presume that they didn't use one ( they should have done ) Ignore the finger as that was something else:

Re: Voltage Stabilizer
Just need a suitable thickness piece of aluminium, it provides contact for the heatsink as the 7810 is mounted with its back uppermost. You will see when you fit it.
Some years ago I found a source for the original chips - they were over £70 each! A 7810 can be had for 50p.

Re: Voltage Stabilizer
LM7810 is good for 1.5A whereas the LM2940T is only good for 1A.
Mounting an LM7810 upside down isn't difficult, all you have to do is ensure that there is a suitable heatsink provided.

I wouldn't worry about ethanol - it is bio diesel to be concerned about with a diesel.

Re: Diesel leak under pressure
For a £5 part! That is really taking the P.
I would replace all the leak off pipes and cap as soon as you can get proper pipe and cap from Brickwerks. The rest of the pipes may well be on the way out if they are of the same age.
