FAME IS NOT GOOD!
FAME is a bio-diesel that may be added to standard fuel to meet government targets for the increased use of bio-fuels and is essentially a solvent which will attack 'rubbers' causing them to fail, be it pipes/hoses or seals.
It also 'picks up' many metals, ie the solvent may collect molecules of the metal it comes into contact with, resulting in the wall thickness of pipes/tubes becoming thin and failing under pressure.
How FAMEous is your diesel - ask now!

DORA: 59ft R W Davis trad. Russell Newbery DM3 diesel.

From the moment you clap eyes on her you cannot fail to be impressed with the superb condition – the paint work gleams, not surprising as it was professionally repainted in 2011, by the renowned Andy Cain, and the blacking looks fresh from when it was grit blasted and 2 pack epoxied just before the repaint. 4 berths: permanent double, single on sofa bed, single in boatmans cabin; shower, cassette wc; solid fuel stove, solid fuel range; gas cooking, 12V fridge; 2500W inverter, 3500W Whisper generator. 1998.
