2.2 Tanks and piping - fuel
Storage tank
There is a 90 l plastic diesel tank with an inspection opening on starboard-side below the aft berths. It is
filled via a fuel inlet with a red cover (marked with FUEL) at the transom of the yacht. The tank pickup is
situated on the tank. The supply is made of a fire-proof fuel hose according to ISO 7840. The vent line is
led to above deck.
Supply of the engine
The engine is supplied via a suction pipe from the upper edge of the tank. Due to the short distance a fire
proof fuel pipe is used. This is led via a wide-meshed filter/ water separator, fuel pump and fine filter to
the engine and then back to the tank.
Attention
A trouble free operation of the engine and heating is only possible, if the fuel is clean.
That’s why a regular inspection and cleaning of filter/water separator is unavoidable.
The fuel tank should be completely emptied and cleaned once a year.
Warning
When refilling the tank:
-
Switch off the engine, heating and stove !
-
Do not smoke or use open lights !
Attention
If there is a danger of fire:
-
Close the fuel stop valve immediately!
