General point

must be kept in a ventilated space.

- Avoid contact between inflammable substances and the hot parts of the engine.
- Locate the extinguisher hole which allows access to the engine compartment if a fire
should break out. (Refer to chapter 2).

the area around the filler with sea water before you remove the filler cap. In case of
splashing rinse the deck thoroughly (deck filler closed).

- Make sure that the ventilation openings in the engine (and generator, if

need to maintain the correct trim. A 20% reserve should be kept.
