General

When choosing a location for the tank and a place for the deck filler
cap, take the following into account:
The filler hose must be kept as short as possible, it must run continu-
ously to the tank and be as straight as possible.
Instead of just one tank, it is also possible to distribute the total ca-
pacity required over two or more tanks.
Distribute the tanks, and thus the weight, evenly over the ship
(F = Fuel, W = Water).
Positioning
Install the tank in such a way that it is easily accessible for inspection.
The tank should always be installed above the maximum bilge water
level.
Also ensure that there is sufficient free space at the top of the tank
for the hose connection. This connection must be easily reached dur-
ing installation. For ventilation, the tank should have a free space of
about 1 cm (3/8"). from bulkheads or other tanks.
Make sure the tank has a sufficiently secure foundation on which to
install it and secure it properly.
The dimensions of the tank will increase a little when it is filled.
Take this into account when fixing the tank.
Fix the tank securely with the fitting straps from the installation kit;
these will accommodate the expansion of the tank.
Connection kit for drinking water tanks
Position the tank in such a way that the plug P is on the top side
of the tank. Consult the diagrams on page 27 for placement of
plug P.
