Thanks selene.

Your response confirms information I've garnered since my initial post.  I'll look into using an additive.

Engine and Drive Train / Is there a special type of diesel fuel for the Volvo MD11c engine?

I just purchased a Pearson 323 with a Volvo MD11c engine.  The tank is about 1/3 full and I'm starting to think about getting fuel.  I'm pondering if the diesel sold at gas stations will work.  Please kindly advise.  Thank you!

Hi selene,

Yes, I think an extra '1' has slipped into my hull number.  Yikes! 
#163 on the registry is the boat that I just purchased (previous owners are listed).  Thanks for pointing that out to me. 

Needless to say, I'm excited to launch the boat and start sailing.

Greetings!

I just acquired a Pearson 323 and plan to sail her on Lake Pepin.  The boat will be moored at the Lake City Marina. 

I have a question about my 1979 Pearson Hull Number: PEA581163M79A

PEA = Pearson
58 = Model (323 1976-81)
1163 = Hull Number
M79 = Model Year (1979)
A = Build Month (August)

Is the Hull Number 1163 correct?  I understood that this should only be 3 digits, but mine has four.  Thanks for any thoughts on this.
