Unpleasant smells may escape from the air breather nipple. This
can be prevented by installing an active charcoal filter (Vetus
Odour Filter (10)) in the vent hose (8). Consult the relevant man-
ual for installing the Vetus odour filter.
• Vent hose
Fit the vent hose (8). Use a fire-resistant hose with 16 mm (
5
/
8
”)
internal diameter.
When viewed from the tank, the vent hose should be fitted in a
continuously upwards slope.
• Fuel supply and return
Connect the fuel supply (1) and the fuel return pipes (2) to their
respective fittings.
Fit all hose connections using 2 stainless steel hose clamps!
All metal parts in the fuel system must be earthed in order to pre-
vent sparks caused by static electricity. Connect an earth wire to
the contact tongue (5) on the connector cover. Also connect an
earth wire to the filler cap. Use yellow/green insulated wire with a
core cross-section of at least 1 mm
2
( AWG 16).
2 6 Connecting the tank
• Filler cap
Fit the filler cap (13).
t
ip
!
When filling the tank, fuel can overflow from the filler cap and
spill onto the deck. This can be prevented by installing a Vetus
Fuel Overflow (11) between filler cap (13) and tank. Consult the
relevant manual for installing the Vetus fuel overflow.
• Filler hose
Fit a filler hose (6) between the filler cap and the tank. Use a
fire-resistant hose with an internal diameter of 38 mm (1
1
/
2
”)or
51 mm (2”). Install this hose in such a way that neither tank or filler
cap are mechanically stressed.
• Breather nipple
Fit the breather nipple (7) as high as possible above the level of
the top of the tank.
W
arning
Choose a location for the breather nipple at a place where
leaking fuel or vapour cannot get into the ship!
