The FuelDock connection
The optional FuelDock connection, which can be mounted on the right side of the fuel station, has
several functions:
It serves as a "park" and storage position for the "EZ-Fueler" filling connector. With the "EZ-Fueler" plug-
in connector plugged in, the fuel fill hose is connected to outlet A, the fuel flowback line is connected to
inlet B.
This allows several configurations/functions:
1)
If no second/alternative fuel filling hose is to be used, then the two Festo connections A & B are
simply "shorted" with a short length of hose. This has the consequence that the system is
hermetically sealed as soon as the EZ-Fueler filling connector is hooked into the FuelDock (e.g. for
transport).
2)
Alternatively, another/alternative filling hose can be connected to outlet A (e.g. with a
different/conventional hose coupling). Inlet B can then optionally be connected to the model's
fuel overflow with another hose. For transport, the filling hose is then connected to the return
hose, so that the system is again hermetically sealed! If refueling with the EZ-Fueler system,
simply remove the EZ-Fueler fueling connector from the FuelDock for refueling. An additional fuel
hose connected to the expansion port remains unaffected.
