Installation Procedure
– To suit General Installation
Ensure the working environment is free from hazards or risks before commencing installation.
Follow any on-site safety operating procedures for onsite installation.
Completely drain fuel from fuel tank.
Remove the fuel supply line from the tank adaptor ensuring all residual fuel in the line is caught.
Remove any lower tank adaptors or other fuelling assemblies from the bottom of the fuel tank.
If removing a fast fill system, the lower assembly will likely have an internal pilot line which must be removed in
order to remove this system.
Make sure all threads are free of dirt, grease and excessive fuel.
Install the nipples into the pilot line ports on the Fuel Filling Valve and Float Valve using a thread sealer such
as Loctite 242 (blue).
Bolt the designated tank adaptor to the bottom of the fuel tank using an appropriate thread sealer such as
Loctite 242. Ensure the O-ring on the tank adaptor is in new condition.
Install the Fuel Filling Valve into the adaptor. Use of the supplied wrench or sockets is recommended.
Install the adaptor into the top of the Fuel Filling Valve using an appropriate thread sealing compound. Use of a
strap wrench or other suitable device is recommended.
Reconnect the fuel supply line to the hose adaptor ensuring a fuel-tight connection. Ensure all connection
points are clean and smooth. Use a thread sealer such as Loctite 242 on the bolts.
Remove the existing breather from the top of the fuel tank.
Install the Float Adapter ensuring the mating surfaces are clean and smooth. Ensure the O-ring on the tank
adaptor is in new condition. Use a thread sealer such as Loctite 242 on the bolts.
Install the Float Valve using the supplied wrench or other suitable tool using an appropriate thread sealing
compound.
Assemble the pilot line using either push on hose barbed fittings or other appropriate hose ends. (-6 JIC fittings
are recommended). Determine pilot line length by routing the pilot line in a manner that will provide the greatest
protection from damage.
Support the pilot line using magnetic hose clamps or other suitable connectors ensuring the line isn’t crimped
or twisted.
Refer to the commissioning procedure once installation has taken place.
CAUTION
Make sure to place the O-ring on the black fuel filling valve before
fitting the adaptor and tightening it into place. No O-ring will lead to
fuel leakage.
Incorrect routing of the air venting line such as low point/s or bends
may result in the discharge of fuel condensate via breather vent and
could ignite on a hot surface.
Always have appropriate fire fighting equipment on hand while
undertaking servicing and filling operations.
NOTICE
Refer to the commissioning section of this manual once installation has taken place.
