Fuel tanks
The boat is fitted with two tanks (one in each hull).
They are both filled independently.
They both have a fuel gauge on the engine panel.
z
FILLING
Take the general precautions stated in the PLUMBING chapter relative
to filling the water tanks.
Fill the tanks using the two fuel fillers.
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 refitting the filler
cap).
z MAINTENANCE
- Regularly check the condition of the O-ring of the filler (in order to
prevent water entering the tanks).
- Do not shut the fuel valves after each use (except in the event of
prolonged absence).
- Keep the fuel tank as full as possible (to avoid condensation).
- Every 5 years clean the tank to remove any sludge deposits.
- Every year check the condition of the fuel system (hose, valves, etc.).
The capacity of the fuel tanks indicated on the SPECIFICATIONS page
may not be completely useable, depending to the trim and load of the
boat.
Always keep 20% of fuel as a reserve.
