Connecting the tank
• Filler cap
Fit the filler cap (20).
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 (18) between filler cap (20)
and tank. Consult the relevant manual for
installing the Vetus fuel overflow.
• Filler hose
Fit a filler hose (13) between the filler cap
and the tank. Use a fire-resistant hose with
an internal diameter of 38 mm (1
stall this hose in such a way that neither
tank or filler cap are mechanically stressed.
• Breather nipple
Fit the breather nipple (14) as high as pos-
sible 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 (Ve-
tus Odour Filter (17) ) in the vent hose (15).
Consult the relevant manual for installing
the Vetus odour filter.

When viewed from the tank, the vent hose
should be fitted in a continuously upwards
slope.
• Fuel supply and return
Connect the fuel supply (7) and the fuel re-
turn pipes (8) to their respective fittings.
Fit all hose connections using 2 stainless
steel hose clamps!
• Earth connection
All metal parts in the fuel system must be
earthed in order to prevent sparks caused by
static electricity. Connect an earth wire to the
screw on the inspection lid. Also connect an
earth wire to the filler cap. Use yellow/green
insulated wire with a core cross-section of at
least 1 mm
