Art,
i to like Soltron.
I have been using it for a long time.
Have use a lot of other additives in my time both here on my own boat and at work on various diesel engines.
Setteled on Soltron for my own use and sticking with it.

I also have been using Soltron for years with good success. West Marine carries it as Startron now, under the Starbrite product line. Blue liquid, same stuff.
Hey Benn - Confusing them bugs*with various additives sounds like good advice.* Hadn't thought of that one!* In addition to Soltron... can you recomend other brands you feel are*good to use??* Thanks, Art

Fuel polishing, off/on.* Also, time to fill up?* (Don't know about the "digital multicontrol" yet.)
You fuel tank gauge is a*Tank Tender by Hart Industries.* Their web site is:* http://www.thetanktender.com/
The gauges always read 0 unless you are "taking" a reading.* You will need to*calibrate each tank.
Oh, you are going to have some fun reading manuals and figuring out everything.

So many systems and subsystems!* Egad.* Definitely lots of homework ahead.* Trust it will be just part of the fun.

PDL,
Pass down LOG , is a standard in the US NAVY.
It is a quick place to look up what ever is needed , right now!
While you are getting familiar with the new boat keep a log , of most everything you discover.
WRITE IT DOWN,
Sure you wont be selling the boat soon , or might not forget what you learn soon , but the time will come.
WRITE IT DOWN , and sometime when you need a simple task, put it in order.
Water in the bilge?
Engine stopped?
Dead starting batteries?
With a good PDL, when the bilge floods , the engine stops , and the anchor wont hold some night on a lee shore , the watch stander wont even have to wake you!!!
