■
It shall be made with materials able to resist chemical agents and hot fuel for the whole boat life.
Metal reservoirs protected through zinc-coating or copper-coating galvanic treatments are not suit-
able to contain “diesel fuel” as the sulphur in the fuel can generate chemical reactions, thus pro-
ducing sulphate dangerous for the injection system. If welded reservoirs are used, make sure they
do not release welding dust or sludge.
■
It shall be fitted with a breather to prevent pressurisation and depression. Foresee also a breather
valve to stop the fuel leak in the event of capsizing, preventing at the same time dust and water
from getting inside.
■
It shall ensure a fuel reserve in any condition. For this purpose, the instrument panel shall be fitted
with a fuel level gauge or an alarm for the fuel low level. Verify that the engine delivers the maxi-
mum power even when only the reserve quantity is present.
For any solution, it is requested to respect the depression limit values of the suction pipe when the fil-
ter is clogged and the counter-pressure values of the fuel return pipe to the reservoir.
Further specifications are given in the installation diagrams relevant to each engine.
NOTE
On the boats fitted with many reservoirs, to prevent excessive suction depression it is suggested to use a
small reservoir, called service reservoir, placed next to the engines and to which the main reservoirs will be
connected to ensure the required autonomy.
With service reservoirs, you are suggested to connect the fuel return pipe from the engine to the main reser-
voir to prevent the service reservoir overheating and derating. It is also advisable to check that the transfer
from the main reservoir to the service reservoir is ensured at each fuel level and for each sailing trim.
