- 1989 44' Heritage East Sundeck
We are heading south in a twin-screw heritage East trawler with Cummings 5.9 BTA engines. our fuel tanks have a crossover line that is open between the two of them to keep the tanks level. we stopped at top rack in Norfolk and put a hundred gallons in each tank which topped them off. My port engine every once in awhile will drop from 1800 RPMs down to a thousand, with a noticeable power loss, and then shoot right back up to where it was. there is no common factor sometimes it happens a half hour after the last little hiccup sometimes it's three hours after and the other day we went all day and it only did it once. we've changed filters I have inspected everything and cannot find any air leaks in or fuel leaks out. I realize it may be beyond my paygrade but I was wondering if anyone out there had any ideas of what I should look for.
