So my boat is a 1988 Baretta with a Volvo Penta motor. I had an issue over the summer with it not getting fuel properly. I replaced the fuel pump, which is a mechanical pump. That seemed to fix the problem temporarily. The issue seems to be back again. I also installed a inline fuel filter after the fuel/water separator to try and catch more debris from the tank to just try and avoid contaminants from going into the carb. I am not sure if it's the inline filter that is creating the problem or if it is something else. Could it possibly be a fuel sending unit? Can you change over from mechanical fuel pump to an electronic one? I wonder if anyone has any suggestions, or experienced a similar issue?
