Connecting the Tank

• Fuel cap
Fit the fuel cap (5).
When filling the tank, fuel can overflow from the filler cap and
spill onto the deck. This can be prevented by installing a Vetus
Fuel Overflow (E) between filler cap (A) and tank. Consult the
relevant manual for installing the Vetus fuel overflow.
• Fuel supply hose
Fit a fuel hose (6) between the filler cap and the tank. Use a fire-
resistant hose with an internal diameter of 51 mm. Install this
hose in such a way that neither tank nor filler cap are mechani-
cally stressed.
• Breather nipple
Fit the breather nipple (7) as high as possible above the level of
the top of the tank.
Choose a location for the breather nipple at a place where
leaking fuel or vapour cannot get into the ship!
Unpleasant smells may escape from the air breather nipple. This
can be prevented by installing an active charcoal filter (Vetus
Odour Filter (10)) in the vent hose (8). Consult the relevant man-
ual for installing the Vetus odour filter.
• Vent hose
Fit the vent hose (8). Use a fire-resistant hose with 16 mm (
internal diameter.
When viewed from the tank, the vent hose should be fitted in a
continuously upwards slope.
• Fuel supply and return
Connect the fuel supply (1) and the fuel return pipes (2) to their
respective fittings.

section of at least 1 mm
