Dave, your remind me!

A class of LPG/Ethylene semi refs. One in dock and being surveyed it was revealed that the standby set would not start on MSB blackout unless the ESB was live. Much leafing of inadequate documentation led to the fact that the auxy engines LO priming pumps were fed from the ESB and that standby starting was not allowed unless the LO pressure was at some prerequisite level.

One of our chiefs would have been able to provide you with another 'as found' generator replacement (not Yanmar). He had the consummate luxury of four machines but was unwise enough to tell my leader, when we were visiting, that he had been told that the fourth was available for 'spares'. He was sent packing along with his favourite footwear, bedroom slippers.
