4.2.9. Fuel system

The boat is fitted with a separate fixed fuel system and extra water-separating fuel filter on the suction line.

Instead of the fuel system used in the European region, the boats produced for the American region use the EPA (United States Environmental Protection Agency) fuel system regarding NMMA (National Marine Manufacturers Association) certification rules.

See the fuel system drawing in Appendix II. For care and maintenance of the fuel system, see the instructions in the engine manual.

Do not smoke or handle open flames when refueling.

Remember that it is not allowed to store fuel in spaces not specifically designed for it. Since there is no ventilated storage space on this boat, possible spare fuel cans must be stored on deck.

The (2) fuel tank is located midpart of the keel. Try to prevent damage to the fuel lines.

The (3) fuel tank valves are located under helmsman´s seat. The EPA fuel system is equipped with an automatic fuel valve. The components of the tank are under the helmsman´s seat.

The (4) inlet pipe for fuel is located in the starboard side of the deck.

If the boat has been equipped with an extra diesel tank, (5) the inlet pipe and (6) tank are located forward.
