SYSTEM OPERATIONS-38
Fuel Tank Fill and Vent
The Fuel Tank is
fi
lled through the Fuel Fill Fitting
and the cap is marked GAS or DIESEL, depending
on the type of Engines that power your
33C.
Using the wrong type of fuel will result in severe
damage to the Engines.
The photo above shows the Port
Fuel Tank Fill
. It
is located on the walkdeck, forward of the Cockpit.
The Starboard
Fuel Tank Fitting is located in the
same position, but on the starboard side. The Fuel
Fill Fittings are connected to the Fuel Tanks with the
fuel hoses.
Each Fuel Tank has a hull vent
fi
tting. These
fi
ttings
are located on the port and starboard sides of the
Hull. The photo below shows the Starboard Side
Fuel Vent
.
The port side vent is in the same location on the other
side of the hull. The vent
fi
ttings are connected to
the fuel tanks with the fuel vent hoses. These vents
allow air to pass through them when fueling and when
the Engines are drawing fuel from the tanks.
The fuel
fi
ll and fuel vent hoses,
fi
ttings and con-
nections, should be inspected for leaks and signs
of dry rot or swelling at least once a year. If any of
these conditions are present, have an authorized
Silverton Service Technician inspect the entire fuel
system immediately. If a leak is found, turn OFF the
battery switches, disconnect the shore power (Refer
to the electrical pages in this section of the Owner’s
Manual), and disable any possible source of ignition.
Contact your Silverton Dealer or Silverton’s Customer
Service Department immediately.
Leaking fuel is a
fi
re and explosion hazard; per-
sonal injury or death could occur.
If any Fuel Fill or Vent Hoses are in need of replace-
ment, be certain that ONLY USCG TYPE A1 or A2
are used.
The use of any hose other than USCG TYPE A1
or A2 could result in fuel leakage. Leaking fuel
is a
fi
re and explosion hazard; personal injury or
death could occur.
Fuel Tank Grounding System
The Fuel Tank and Fuel Fill on your
33C
are electri-
cally grounded (or bonded) to the ground buss of
the Bonding System. The
Grounding System
is
designed to prevent the discharge of static electric-
ity, which could cause a spark, especially when
fueling your yacht. An authorized Silverton Service
Technician should inspect this system at least once
each year.
