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.
