Vetus FS3816 Instrucciones De Instalación página 4

Introduction
The Vetus Splash-Stop prevents fuel from overflowing onto the
deck out of the filler cap.
Fuel overflow may occur during filling when the tank is nearly
full or when the tank is filled with very cold fuel from an under-
ground tank while the temperature on board is relatively high.
The fuel will then expand as it warms up!
Frothing fuel overflows into a 2 litre reservoir. This reservoir is
eventually emptied into the fuel tank through the breather line.
The Splash-stop works much better if a nozzle with automatic
cut-off is used.
Use
First place the filling nozzle as far as possible into the Splash-
Stop opening (through the rubber flaps of the anti-splash
sleeve). Use the nozzle to fill the tank.
WARNING
Fuel is harmful to the environment. Prevent any spilling!
Keep oil-absorbent rags within reach as a precaution!
Installation
General
Choose an appropriate position for the Splash-Stop and the
deck plate. The Splash-Stop can be installed with the deck plate
mounted either on the deck or in a bulkhead (vertical surface).
The Splash-stop FS3816 can only be applied in combination
with:
- the Vetus deck cap for diesel ø 38 mm
- the Vetus deck cap for 'unleaded gasoline' (petrol) ø 38 mm
- a deck cap with an external diameter of ø 37.7 mm to
ø 38.3 mm.
The Splash-stop FS5116/ FS5119/ FS5122/ FS5125 can only
be applied in combination with:
- the Vetus deck cap for diesel ø 51 mm
- a deck cap with an external diameter of ø 51 mm to ø 52.8
mm.

The bulkhead should be diagonal so that the Splash-Stop's filler
cap is at a minimum angle of 10˚.
FS3816/ FS5116:
If a ø 51 mm hose is
connected, the con-
nection for the ø 38
mm hose should be
sawn off. Trim the
sawn surface well.
Remove any saw-
dust from the
Splash-stop.
WARNING
Never place the filler cap in a closed space. Fuel could
then be spilled inside the ship!
If petrol is used instead of diesel, the Splash-Stop must be
located in a well-ventilated area!
The connecting hoses must be easily accessible during instal-
lation, take this into account when choosing the location of the
Splash-Stop and filler cap.
Easy access is also important for maintenance and repairs.
If the filler cap has
been placed in a
vertical surface,
then the small
breather hole in the
anti-splash sleeve
must be fitted at
the lowest point.
