6/3-15

Position: 86° 07.3' N, 45° 16' W, temperature - 22° C, air pressure 994 hPa, wind 3 knots from the NW. Ice drift 0.1 towards SE. A most welcomed "hot" day and opportunity for engine maintenance. Put a tarp over the engine bay and used the propane burner for heating. Adjusted the lift fan belt tension, greased all points and changed diesel fuel filters. We have lately been unable to get the engine to run over 1000 rpm, which turned out to be clogged fuel filters for the second time on the ice.
