Vetus FTANK Série Instructions D'installation page 8

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 inspec-
tion. 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 during 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.
Fitting in sailing boats
When fitting remember that the filler hose must always be posi-
tioned on the same side of the boat as the tank.
This prevents too high a pressure from possibly occurring in the
tank when sailing heeled.
2.2 Fitting the Connector Lid
• The connector lid should preferably be located so that plug P
is removed when the hole is cut.
Consult the manual supplied with the connection kit for in-
structions on how to install it.
