FUEL TANKS
FILLING
Take the general precautions stated in chapter 5 about the water tank filling.
Fill the fuel tank using the filler. In order to protect the deck from possible fuel splash, wet the area
around the filler with sea water before you remove the filler cap. In case of splashes, rinse the deck
thoroughly (after fitting back the filler cap).
The level of fuel is transmitted to the indicator on the engine panel thanks to the dipstick.
MAINTENANCE
DANGER
Stop the engine and refrain from smoking during fuel tank filling.
Make sure that the ventilation openings in the engine (and generator, if installed) compartment are
well cleared.
WARNING
Tanks nominal load capacity cannot be fully used based due to trim and boat loading. A 20% reserve
should be kept.
RECOMMENDATION
- Regularly check the O ring of the filler for good condition (in order to prevent water entries).
- Do not turn off the fuel tap after each use (except in case the boat is unattended for long).
- Keep the fuel tank as full as possible (to avoid condensation).
- Every 5 years clean the tank to remove possible sludge deposition.
- Do not use chlorine-based products (they may spoil the quality of the tank stainless steel).
- Every year check the fuel system for condition (hose, valves, etc.).
- Have a professional to carry out the works on the damaged parts of the fuel system.
