the cabin roof structure (marked
FUEL with symbol).
Supply of and return to the
inboard diesel engine occurs

is carried out via a swan neck in

4.1.4 Fuel supply/circulation
The feed pipe goes from the inlet pipe on the fuel tank, via a quick shut off valve on the fuel
pipe to the fuel filter/water separator under the bunk in the stern cabin and on to the fine filter
and diesel pump. The engine return pipe to the tank is situated almost parallel. A quick shut
off valve is installed on the feed pipe. This is reached through the aft locker in the head.
IMPORTANT
Perfect running of the engine is only possible with clean
fuel. Therefore it is absolutely essential to regularly
inspect and clean the filter and water separator.
Warning
Turn off the engine, heating and the cooker when filling the tank.
Never smoke while filling the tank!
Never approach with a naked flame!
WARNING
To ensure that the fuel system does not draw in any air.
Regularly check the fuel level on the E-Panel in the navigation area!
20% fuel reserve should be kept, as all of its capacity may not be usable according to trim
and loading
