Broke down at bridge 28. Awkward spot, reedy banks and narrow. Had to punt her passed the bridge till we found a place we could get the gang plank onto the towpath. Lots of water in the diesel tank. For too long Pan has been used as a weekend boat and not driven much. Water condenses inside the fuel tank if it's not kept full. Changed fuel filter and bled air and water out of the pumps and injectors till something resembling diesel fuel sputtered out. Once going decided to head to Worcester to have fuel tank pumped out and filtered. Should have a water separator fitted really. One day.
