flushing 450 cummins with barnacle buster

[victor brunst]

Have a 2004 Tiara 3600 Sovran with twin 450 Cummins. New to marine diesels and doing this maintenance for first time.Trying to flush engines with Barnacle Buster by pumping solution thru heat exchanger and
return thru raw water pump connection. All works well water returning from water pump connection but slowly escaping somewhere else. No evidence
of leaks or water in the bilge. Have not plugged/isolated water supply to shaft dripless bearings – could that be it? Appreciate advice. victor

Thanks again John! Pinched the hose to the bearings and it stopped the leak. victor

It is getting pushed through the dripless I am sure.
