Place the DIESEL nozzle into the tank opening, pump slowly and evenly, and note
the sound of the fuel flow. Pumping too fast may not allow enough time for air to
escape, which may result in a fuel spill from the tank vent. As the tank fills, the
sound will rise in pitch (like water filling up a glass).
As it nears full, monitor the sight gauges located in the engine room. Stop filling
when the fuel level rises to the top of the sight gauge, this is considered full.
Pay attention to the overflow vent
on the outside of the hull near the deck fitting.
Fill carefully and be prepared to catch spilled fuel. A fuel spill could result in a
fine from law enforcement. By correctly using the sight gauges you should not
have any problems.
Replace each deck fitting. It isn’t necessary for them to be extremely tight as there
are rubber gaskets on the fitting preventing water from entering.
Turn OFF top and bottom sight gauge shutoffs at the port and starboard fuel tanks
when finished.
