Leaking fuel is a fi re and
explosion hazard; personal injury or
death could occur.
Fuel Tank Fills and Vents
Each fuel tank is fi lled through its respective
fuel fi ll fi tting and the cap is marked GAS or
DIESEL, depending on the type of engines
that power your 352 MY.
Using the wrong type of
fuel will result in severe damage to the
engines.
The Port fuel tank fi ll fi tting is located on
the Port side of the transom and the Star-
board fuel tank fi ll fi tting is located on the
Starboard side of the transom (See Deck
Layout on Page 153, which illustrates the
location of the fuel tank fi ll fi ttings). The fuel
fi ll fi ttings are connected to the fuel tanks
with the fuel fi ll hoses.
Each fuel tank has a hull vent fi tting. These
fi ttings are located on the Port and Star-
board sides of the hull (See Thru-hull Lay-
out-Port and Starboard on Page 151 and
152, which illustrates the location of the fuel
tank vents). The vent fi ttings are connected
to the fuel tanks with the fuel vent hoses.
These vents allow air to pass through them
when fueling and when the engines are
drawing fuel from the tanks.
The fuel fi ll and fuel vent hoses, fi ttings and
connections should be inspected for leaks
and signs of dry rot or swelling at least once
a year. If any of these conditions are pres-
ent, have an authorized Silverton Service
Technician inspect the entire fuel system
immediately. If a leak is found, turn OFF the
battery switches, disconnect shore power
(See Shore Power - Connecting and Dis-
connecting on Page 63, which explains the
proper and safe method for disconnecting
your shore power) and disable any possible
source of ignition. Contact your Silverton
dealer or Silverton Customer Service im-
mediately.
Leaking fuel is a fi re and
explosion hazard; personal injury or
death could occur.
If any fuel hoses are in need of replace-
ment, be certain that ONLY USCG TYPE
A1 are used.
The use of any hose other
than USCG TYPE A1 or could result in
fuel leakage. Leaking fuel is a fi re and
explosion hazard; personal injury or
death could occur.
Fuel Tank Grounding System
The fuel tanks and fuel fi lls on your 352 MY
are electrically grounded (or bonded) to the
ground buss of the bonding system. This
grounding system is designed to prevent
the discharge of static electricity, which
could cause a spark, especially when fueling
your yacht. An authorized Silverton Service
Technician should inspect this system at
least once each year.
