Another view of the starboard side of the engine room, showing the deck boards covering the repainted bilges. The repaint off the engine shows up well in this image. The sound-proofing on bulkhead to the cabin is at the top, and the green fuel tank is to the right hand side.

The current state of the starboard half of the refurbished engine room. The bottom of the fuel tank is just in shot at the top of the image.

The refurbishment of the fuel tanks has now reached the early stages of painting - this is a coat of galvanising primer. As a precaution, as there were a few marks, the very early signs of rust pitting, the base of the tank has been replaced (surprisingly few pits in what are approx 45 year old tanks, given that diesel almost always has a little water separated out at the bottom.) This work enabled the interior to be horoughly cleaned and inspected, without finding any other problems.

The port diesel tank returned to position after repainting.

The repainted starboard diesel tank back in place.

Views of the fuel tank fillers, before and after cleaning, as the tanks have now been serviced, these can also be refitted.
