CHAPTER XXI
FINAL INSTALLATION OF THE ENGINE
HOSES!
Only hoses designed for diesel fuel should be!
used. Copper should be used only as the flexible!
joints at both ends. Remember that your diesel!
engine has a return hose to the tank. "Westerbeke"!
recommends that you bring the return hose to the!
bottom of the tank in order to prevent air from!
reaching the fuel pump through this hose which would!
make the engine hard to start.!
Another very important detail is to make sure!
that the fill on your tank is connected by a copper!
wire to the tank itself or to the bonding system.!
This is to prevent sparks caused by static!
electricity when re-fuelling.!
DOUBLE PILOT STATION!
If you install a second instrumentation panel!
for the engine, remember that each panel must have its!
own sender on the engine. All the fuel hoses can be!
covered with a second fire retardant hose especially!
built for this purpose by "Shield". We further!
recommend the entire fuel system be double-clamped.!
