6.2.3. FUEL SYSTEM
The fuel required for engine operation is stored in a fuel tank. The fuel tank has a capacity of
45 liters. The fuel tank is stowed under the port side saloon seat (see Fig. 8). Fuel tank is
accessed from saloon by lifting the seat panels.
DANGER: - When filling the tank, turn off the engine and do not smoke.
Filling the fuel tank:
Fill the fuel tank with diesel via the deck filler. The position of the deck filler is shown
in Fig.8
The fuel filler is marked “DIESEL”. Unscrew the plug using a winch handle.
Before filling the tank, close the portlights in vicinity of the fuel filler.
Fill the fuel tank slowly in order to avoid spilling fuel on the deck.
In case of spilling fuel on the deck, clean it immediately using a detergent and a large
amount of fresh water.
Keep the fuel tank full because a low fuel level can cause air penetration and
improper engine operation and stoppage.
Close the fuel filler carefully and screw it tight.
