Do not operate an engine with its return line’s fuel shut-off valve closed.
Doing so creates excessive pressure within the fuel system that could
lead to fuel system failure.
5.1.4 Fuel Tank Vents
Each fuel tank is vented overboard. As the fuel tanks are filled during
fueling, air is displaced from inside the tanks and escapes through the
vents. Conversely, when the engines are running, air enters the fuel tanks
through the vents to displace the fuel being used. Each fuel tank has two
vents, one of which is combined with its respective fuel fill fitting. Refer to
the “Deck Plates” portion of Section 9 for the exact location of the fuel
tank fittings.
