20 Leak fuel connection
The HP fuel line is sealed by the thrust ring (8).
If leakage in the area of the thrust ring (8) or the HP line (5) occurs, the emerging fuel is routed to the
leakage chamber.
Leak fuel is allowed to escape without pressure via the leakage overflow bore (7). The leakage chamber
is sealed toward the outside by the O-rings (3).
This prevents leaking fuel from escaping.
The union is confirmed as being SOLAS-compliant by DNV and GL.
