FUEL TANKS
FILLING
Take the general precautions stated in chapter 7 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 fuel level is transmitted from the dipstick to the indicator located on the electrical panel.
MAINTENANCE
Note: The capacity of the fuel tank or tanks indicated in the page "Specifications" cannot
be completely used according to the trim and load of the boat. Always keep 20 % fuel as
a reserve.
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.
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.
