ENGLISH
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 installation,
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.
3.2 Assembly
• Assemble the filler cap.
The hose connection must be as
short as possible; shorten the hose
connection as necessary.
The top side of the Splash-stop is equipped with a connection for
the breather line. This connection has a turning radius of about 200°.
• Fit the Splash-stop onto the filler cap with the pre-fitted rubber
sleeve and the hose clamp included. Use water or soap, if needed;
do not use oil.

Support the Splash-stop by attach-
ing the strip provided to the deck or
the gangway. The strip can be fitted
on both sides of the splash-stop.
• Fit a filler hose between the Splash-Stop and the tank. Use fire-
proof hose with a 38 mm or 51 mm inner diameter respectively.
Place it such that no mechanical stress is placed on either the tank
or the Splash-Stop.
• Place the breather nipple as high as possible above the level of
the Splash-Stop. This will prevent fuel escaping from the breather
lines.
Choose a location for the breather nipple such that fumes are
not trapped within the ship!
Unpleasant odours can escape through the breather nipple. This can
be prevented by fitting an active carbon filter (the VETUS Odour fil-
ter) onto the breather line. Refer to the relevant instruction manual
for installation of the VETUS Odour filter.
The VETUS Odour filter is only suitable for diesel, not petrol.
• Fit the breather hose using fireproof hose with a 16, 19, 22 or 25
mm inner diameter, depending on the version.
The first section of the breather hose, which is also the feed for fuel
caught in the Splash-Stop, should run from the tank to the RETURN
connection.
The second section of breather hose should be run from the VENT
connection to the breather nipple.
The breather hose must be fitted such that there is a continuous up-
ward slope in relation to the tank.
• Fasten all hose connections with 2 stainless steel hose clamps!

The deck fitting and the other metal parts that may come in contact
with the fuel, must be grounded to prevent sparks from static elec-
tricity. Use a wire cross-section of 1 mm
green/yellow.
