13.3. FUELING
While employment of a diesel engine results in a greatly reduced fire hazard when compared to gasoline, it
should be remembered that diesel fuel is flammable, and that the employment of good fueling practices are
necessary. The following steps are provided as guidelines.
13.3.1. Before Fueling
1. Extinguish all smoking materials and check the fueling area for other sources of spark or flame.
Remove if found.
2. Shut off the engine, and the electrical generator if water one is aboard.
3. De-energize all electrical equipment.
4. Close all hatches and ports.
5. Ensure that a fire extinguisher is readily available.
6. Ensure that the proper (diesel, not gasoline) hose is about to be used.
WARNING! DO NOT FUEL DURING AN ELECTRICAL STORM.
BESIDES THE OBVIOUS HAZARD OF LIGHTNING, THE
POSSIBILITY OF STATIC DISCHARGE IS GREATLY INCREASED
AT THE TIME.
13.3.2. Fueling
The diesel tank is filled thru a deck filler located on the STBD. side of the swim platform (green cap deck filler).
The tank is filled for the first time with the cock closed to calibrate the fuel gauge. During filling, put a funnel
with a filter in the deck filler hole, and watch the fuel overflow outlet. Useful tip: to avoid staining teak on the
deck with diesel oil, wash the deck with water beforehand, this will stop the oil from penetrating the wood.
While filling, note how much fuel corresponds to the markings on the gauge (remembering that a small amount
of fuel not consumed during the factory engine tests may remain in the tanks);
Gauge markings: 1/4 1/2 3/4 F
Note: ( number of gallons per mark) X X X X
Always sail with your tanks as full as possible, both to avoid any contamination of the diesel oil with water
(due to condensation in the tank), and to prevent the injector pump running dry and needing repriming.
13.3.3. After Fueling
Replace cover, clean up any spilled fuel. If any rags, etc. were used for this purpose, dispose of them ashore.
Check below decks for presence of fumes or fuel leakage. plate Check bilge, engine space, and main cabin.
WARNING! IF FUMES OR EVIDENCE OF LEAKAGE IS FOUND,
DETERMINE THE CAUSE, CORRECT IT, AND CLEAN UP ANY
SPILLAGE BEFORE PROCEEDING.
Open all hatches and ports to ventilate the boat.
Switch on battery.
The engine should be started only when it is certain that no potentially hazardous condition exists.
13.3.4. Fuel Sanitation
The fact that a diesel engine does not require an ignition system can, and usually does, result in an engine
that is far superior to a gasoline engine with regard to dependability. Whether this is actually the case
depends greatly on cleanliness of the fuel that is supplied to the engine since the close tolerances required by
the engine's fuel delivery system make it extremely intolerant of any form of dirt or water contamination.
The engine is supplied with filters that prevent contaminants from reaching the engine where they could
cause damage, but a clogged filter, although providing this protection, can also stop an engine. Keeping the
filters free of dirt and water is an obvious answer to this problem, and the cleaning schedules set forth in the
