    • @NarrowboatWill

      A chap bought that boat and took out the bilge pumps that kept it afloat so it sank. CRT have sent him a massive bill to have it removed. Sad thing is it's an historic boat and the owner would've been eligible for a grant to refit it. Shame. Thanks again Lori.

    That smell in the air probably isn't sewage, more likely to be Prosper de Mulder - which is a waste food recycling plant. Also that pipeline was from the Old pilkingtons Glass factory.. it was the waste water outlet pipe, that goes to the slurry fields (water with fine sand in it)

    Those pipes over the canal can be water ,gas,sewage.You are obviously a better Entamolagist than a botanist although l always enjoyed your rough stab at the plant names .And as for the weather not being favourable,l remember one of my 80 year old clients saying -always remember Mother Nature is a b......d 😱

      Those pipes carried "Burgy", a waste product from making glass at pilkington glass over to deposit on the other side forming those small hills. Long since stopped, I think!

    We have a beta 38 and we get that sound between 1600 and 1700rpm. Going over 1700 it disappears so I have put it down to a rattle which is resonance related. We only discovered it on the tidal Trent as we never normally go over 1400.

    • @NarrowboatWill
      @NarrowboatWill  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Oh well I hope it's just part of it and that's it. It does sound worrying though. I've thrashed my engine to the max so if it's going to go I'd rather it go on a canal rather than the tidal Trent. Ha ha Cheers for watching Tony.

Ha ha My gearbox is a prm 120d I've checked and changed the oil recently and I'm always checking my belts because of the trouble I've had with my alternator mounts. Another comment said his does the same on the same engine. I don't thrash it often anyway. Just to clear the bores. Have a great day.
