The top side of the Splash-stop is equipped with a connection for

the breather line. This connection has a turning radius of about 200°.

• Fit the Splash-stop onto the filler cap with the pre-fitted rubber

sleeve and the hose clamp included. Use water or soap, if needed;

do not use oil.

Support the Splash-stop by attach-

ing the strip provided to the deck or

the gangway. The strip can be fitted

on both sides of the splash-stop.

• Fit a filler hose between the Splash-Stop and the tank. Use fire-

proof hose with a 38 mm or 51 mm inner diameter respectively.

Place it such that no mechanical stress is placed on either the tank

or the Splash-Stop.

• Place the breather nipple as high as possible above the level of

the Splash-Stop. This will prevent fuel escaping from the breather

lines.

Choose a location for the breather nipple such that fumes are

not trapped within the ship!

Unpleasant odours can escape through the breather nipple. This can

be prevented by fitting an active carbon filter (the Vetus Odour filter)

onto the breather line. Refer to the relevant instruction manual for

installation of the Vetus Odour filter.

The Vetus Odour filter is only suitable for diesel, not petrol.

• Fit the breather hose using fireproof hose with a 16, 19, 22 or 25

mm inner diameter, depending on the version.

The first section of the breather hose, which is also the feed for fuel

caught in the Splash-Stop, should run from the tank to the RETURN

connection.

The second section of breather hose should be run from the VENT

connection to the breather nipple.

The breather hose must be fitted such that there is a continuous up-

ward slope in relation to the tank.

• Fasten all hose connections with 2 stainless steel hose clamps!

The deck fitting and the other metal parts that may come in contact

with the fuel, must be grounded to prevent sparks from static elec-

tricity. Use a wire cross-section of 1 mm

green/yellow.

Maintenance

Check the breather nipple regularly and clean the steel breather nip-

ple strainer whenever necessary.

Check annually:

- the anti-splash sleeve and re-

place when necessary.

- the hoses and hose connec-

tions for possible leakage and

replace hoses and hose clamps

when necessary.
