DANGER: When filling the tank, turn off the engine and do not smoke.
Filling the fuel tank:

Fill the fuel tank with diesel via the deck filler. The position of the deck filler is shown
in Fig.8

The fuel filler is marked “DIESEL”. Unscrew the plug using a winch handle.

Before filling the tank, close the portlights in vicinity of the fuel filler.

Fill the fuel tank slowly in order to avoid spilling fuel on the deck.

In case of spilling fuel on the deck, clean it immediately using a detergent and a large
amount of fresh water.

Keep the fuel tank full because a low fuel level can cause air penetration and
improper engine operation and stoppage.

Close the fuel filler carefully and screw it tight.
CAUTION: The fuel tank is equipped with valves for conduits. When opening or
closing the valves, lift the locking device.
