Fuel is taken directly from the fuel tank of
the vehicle or vessel or an additional tank. Drill a
hole Ø16mm in the fuel tank to install a fuel
suction hose. When drilling the hole in the fuel
tank, follow safety precautions that should be
observed when working with a transport, which
is filled with fuel or explosive substance.
If needed, cut the immersible tube of the fuel
suction hose shorter before installation. Its
bottom end must be located about 10-15 mm

above the bottom of the tank, or at the height to provide fuel for engine in the fuel tank at
any time. The cut at the end of the fuel suction hose must be made at a 45° angle to the
axis of the tube. Remove all burrs from the cut after the work is done.
Install the fuel suction hose in the fuel tank as per Fig.15a. Install the special washer of
the fuel suction hose in the tank hole as per Fig.15b. Apply a fuel-proof sealant on the
threaded surface of the fuel suction tank to properly seal the connection between the fuel
suction hose and the fuel tank.
Never install the suction hose on the side of the fuel tank. It must be
installed on the top side of the fuel tank.
3.4.2 Fuel suction from an additional fuel tank
Consider convenience of fuelling, when installing the fuel
tank (Fig.16). Install the fuel tank in such a way that the amount
of fuel and its potential leaks from the inlet, fuel suction nozzle or
connections can be visually controlled.
When filling the fuel tank, be careful not to spill
any of the fuel on the exhaust system, wiring or
other objects, which can be damaged due to their
contact with fuel.
Fuel tank must be installed with its wide side
perpendicular to the direction of the
movement of the vehicle/vessel (see Fig. 16).
