12.7 REFUELLING

Ensure the yacht is properly moored, stop engines and generators if running.
The fuel filler (1) is located into the suitable peak on each lateral walk around of the yacht.
Wash the teak with fresh water ahead of time to prevent soiling it accidentally.
Loosen the filling nozzle, make sure that refuelling pump has suitable dimensions, then insert the pump and hold it still.
Do not top up the tanks at highest level, so as to allow the fuel to expand into the tank, without spilling out from vents.
Tighten filler plug firmly and remove any fuel drop from the hull and the teak.

CAUTION

The inlet plug carries the indication “DIESEL” to avoid accidental introduction of different liquids.
To avoid damage to the system and tanks, we recommend replenishing by gravity and not by pressure.

CAUTION

When refuelling open the fillers on both sides of the yacht.

CAUTION

Refuelling should be performed at the end of navigation, in order to allow fuel cooling down, without condense. Drain the tanks, every 2 or 3 refuelling. Before refuelling, wash the teak with fresh water to avoid its contamination with fuel.

DANGER

Do not smoke during refuelling, do not leave the yacht unattended, do not leave the engines running.

ENVIRONMENT

Do not scatter fuel in the environment: it causes pollution.

DANGER

Fuel leaks create a fire and explosion hazard.
Fuel cannot be stowed inside the garage.

CAUTION

Stop all engines when refuelling.

DANGER

It is forbidden to smoke, use naked flames or keep mobile phones switched on during refuelling.

CAUTION

Explosion/fire hazard

Stow flammable material in a safety-approved container. Never stow flammable material in non-vented areas.
Check bilge and engine room for fumes.
Keep the ventilation system free of obstructions. Never modify the ventilation system.
Inspect the fuel system for leaks.

CAUTION

Explosion/fire/pollution hazard
Fuel system connections that are too loose or too tight can leak, resulting in fuel spillage, environmental pollution and explosion/fire hazard.
