− Reinstall the fuel tank fill cap carefully to ensure a tight seal that will
keep out rainwater and spray.
− Do not dispose of fuel, oil or other petroleum products into the
environment. Use only approved shoreside disposal facilities.
− If you are in doubt about the fuel quality at the fueling facility, see the
engine manual for the specifications for diesel fuel quality.
− At least once a month check for the correct operation of the level
gauge.
During inlet, the fuel flow produces a lot of foam; if it comes out, you might
think the tank is full. Therefore, it is good to wait for a few minutes and
then top up, in order to be sure that the tank has been filled correctly. The
special geometric shape of the tank allows also the decantation of the
impurities or of water contained in the fuel.
NOTICES
For the type of fuel to be used, follow the Manufacturer’s
recommendations. Diesel engines require very clean fuel. Keep filters
clean.

S
CAUTION
Refuelling should be performed at the end of navigation, in order to
allow fuel cooling down, without condense. Drain the tanks, every 2 or
3 refuelling. Before refueling, wash the teak (if installed) with fresh
water, in order to prevent the formation of fuel stains.
b

Do not smoke during refuelling.
Do not leave the yacht unattended during refuelling.
Do not leave the engines running during refuelling.
i
ENVIRONMENT
