4.13 FUELING THE YACHT
− Check that the yacht is securely moored and shut down all engines,
including the generator.
− Extinguish any open flames and do not smoke when handling fuel or
oils.
− The fuel tank fill fittings are located on the walk-arounds.
− During refuelling, check for the correct operation of the electric level
gauge.
− Remove the fuel tank fill fitting cap; check that the fuel dispensing
nozzle fits. First place the filling nozzle as deep as possible into the
filling pipe through the rubber of the anti-splash sleeve of the flow
switch. Fill the tank. Hold the nozzle steady while pumping. Never
leave the filling operation unattended.
− Fuel is harmful to the environment. Prevent any spilling of fuel. Have
absorbent materials within reach and promptly clean up any spills.
− Do not overfill the tank. Overfilling the tank will result in illegal,
polluting fuel spillage from the tank vent. To avoid tank overfilling, the
stern cockpit is equipped with a panel carrying a switch and a buzzer.
At switch activation, the buzzer starts sounding when the tank is
nearly full. By setting the switch to OFF, the buzzer stops.
