Both propulsion engines are plumbed to the allocated fuel tank located on the same side as the engine. The diesel
propulsion system uses fuel supply lines and fuel return lines to fuel the engines. The supply lines feed fuel to the engine.
The return lines transfer fuel not burned by the engine back to the fuel tank. The generator draws fuel from the port fuel
tank only.
FUEL SHUT-OFF VALVE
Fuel supply shut-off valves are located in the engine room on top of each fuel tank. Each valve opens or closes to supply
fuel to the allocated system component.

FUEL TANK VENTS
Each fuel tank is vented overboard. As the fuel tanks get lled, air is displaced from inside the tanks and escapes through
the vents. However, when the engines are running, air enters the fuel tanks through the vents to displace the fuel being
used.
