Connecting the Tank
Fit the fuel cap (A).

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 install-
ing the Vetus fuel overflow.
Fit a fuel hose (B) between the filler cap and the tank.
Use a fire-resistant hose with an internal diameter of 38
mm. or 50 mm.. Instal this hose in such a way that neither
tank or filler cap are mechanically stressed.
Fit the air relief nipple (C) as high as possible above the
level of the top of the tank.
! WARNING
Choose a location for the air relief at a place where leaking
fuel or vapour cannot get into the ship!

Unpleasant smells may escape from the air relief
nipple. This can be prevented by installing an active
charcoal filter (Vetus Odour Filter (F)) in the relief pipe
(D). Consult the relevant manual for installing the
Vetus odour filter.
Fit the air relief pipe (D). Use a fire-resistant hose with
16-mm. internal diameter.
When viewed from the tank,the air relief pipe should be
fitted in a continuously upward direction.
Connect the fuel supply (2) and the fuel return pipes
(3) to their respective fittings.
Fit all hose connections using 2 stainless steel hose
clamps!
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 contact tongue on the connector cover.
Also connect an earth wire to the filler cap. Use yellow/
green insulated wire with a core cross-section of at least 1
mm 2 .
Maintenance
Regularly check the air relief nipple and clean the sieve in the
nipple if necessary.
Every year, check the hoses and hose connections for possible
leakage and fit new hoses and/or hose clamps as necessary.
Also check the tank for damage caused by chaffing. Replace a
damaged tank immediately.
