4.1.3 Fuel tank
A 88 l PE-diesel tank is installed under the
forward port bunk in the saloon. It is
filled through the screw cap on the main
deck towards the front starboard side of
the cabin roof structure (marked FUEL
with symbol).
Supply of and return to the inboard diesel
engine occurs through a fixed copper pipe
with fireproof fuel hoses at the ends in
accordance with ISO 7840. Out-board
ventilation of the fuel tank is carried out
via a swan`s neck in the locker to the
starboard deck and exits at the star board
side edge under the cover at stern.

4.1.4 Fuel supply/circulation
The feed pipe has been mislaid from the inlet pipe on the fuel tank, via a quick shut off valve
on the fuel pipe to the coarse 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 can be 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, switch over from the port fuel tank
to the starboard fuel tank in good time.
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
