7.3.3 New oil tank (2T03)
In engines with wet sump, the lubricating oil may be filled into the engine, using a hose or an oil can, through
the crankcase cover or through the separator pipe. The system should be arranged so that it is possible
to measure the filled oil volume.
7.3.4 Suction strainers (2F01, 2F04, 2F06)
It is recommended to install a suction strainer before each pump to protect the pump from damage. The
suction strainer and the suction pipe must be amply dimensioned to minimize pressure losses. The suction
strainer should always be provided with alarm for high differential pressure.
