INSTALLATION
MANUAL
Fuel tank
The illustration shows an example of a marine fuel tank installation.
Position
If the fuel tank is placed higher than the engine feed pump, a shut-off cock should be installed in the fuel line to the feed pump. During downtime, this cock should be closed. Maximum permitted fuel level in the fuel tank is 3.5 m in relation to the feed pump.
The fuel tank must not be positioned so low that the vacuum in feed pump suction pipe is greater than 0.3 bar. The risk of air leaks in the suction pipe increases with increased vacuum. See also the section Flow and pressure.
If the fuel tank is mounted so low that the maximum permissible vacuum is exceeded, or if a large fuel tank is required which cannot be mounted close to the engine, a buffer tank must be installed at a suitable distance and height. A feed pump must be fitted directly downstream of the tank. The flow for the auxiliary feed pump must be minimum 15% higher than the flows specified in the Feed pump flow rates section.
If a reliable and quick starting response is required, the buffer tank should be positioned adjacent to the engine with the lowest fuel level at the same level as the feed pump. If the fuel tank(s) are built in, the space should be well ventilated. The fuel tank should normally be drained once a year, but this may vary depending on the quality of the fuel.

Fuel tank
Fuel tank design
The material for the fuel tank should be corrosion-resistant, such as stainless steel or aluminium.
Note:
Some other materials, such as copper or hot dip galvanised sheet steel, are unsuitable for use with diesel fuel.
It is important that the fuel tanks are positioned in as cool a location as possible since the return fuel is hot and therefore raises the temperature of the fuel in the fuel tank.
Power correction due to the fuel temperature increase for PDE engines is displayed in the tables in the Fuel grade and power for PDE engines section.
Main tank and buffer tank
If the engine installation has a buffer tank and main tank, these should be designed as follows:
The fuel tanks must be fully welded, and should have internal baffle plates to prevent the fuel being thrown about in heavy seas. Both fuel filling components and the fuel tank must be grounded to prevent sparking from static electricity. The fuel tank must have the following devices:
•A drain tap for emptying sludge and water that has sunk to the bottom.
•A ventilation or bleed line from the upper part of the fuel tank to the outside of the hull. It should be designed so that water cannot enter and so that fuel cannot run out when the ship is leaning heavily.
•Protection or filter to prevent contaminants entering during filling.
•There must always be a fuel cock in the suction line and in the return line if its outlet in the tank is higher than the outlet from the engine. The return line should be routed to the upper part of the fuel tank.
•Main tanks must be fitted with inspection hatches so that they can be inspected and cleaned inside.
•The main tank must have a sloped bottom or be on a slight incline (about 3-5°) and have a tap at the lowest part for draining condensation.
•The pipe fittings must be connected or routed to approximately 50 mm from the bottom and supplied with a bottom strainer. This applies to both the buffer tank and the main tank.
•The lines to the buffer tank should be as short as possible and should be mounted in such a way that they cannot be exposed to mechanical damage.
•Transfer of fuel from the main tank to the buffer tank should be achieved using an electric pump connected so that it only pumps when the engine is running. This is to prevent the risk of serious leakage when the engine is not running. The electric pump must have an excess capacity of 30-40% in relation to the engine fuel consumption. This is to ensure that the quantity of return fuel is sufficient for lubrication and cooling.
•There must be a return pipe from the buffer tank to the main tank so that any surplus fuel runs back to the main tank.
New fuel tanks must be thoroughly cleaned and rinsed internally using clean fuel. They must also be pressure tested to 0.3 bar.
Fuel tanks manufactured from materials which are not resistant to corrosion must be treated externally with corrosion protection. The fuel tanks must not be painted internally nor be zinc-coated or galvanised.
•For PDE engines, the return pipe from the engine must be routed to the upper part of the buffer tank.
•For XPI engines, the return pipe should enter below the lowest fuel level in the main tank.
•The buffer tank must also be fitted with a drain tap for condensation.
See instructions in the Fuel tank design section for further details.

Fuel pipes
Fuel pipes
The fuel lines should be routed so that the fuel cannot be heated by radiated heat from the engine.
The dependency of engine power on fuel temperature can be read in the tables in the Fuel grade and power for PDE engines section. Maximum permitted fuel temperature in the inlet pipe is 60°C.
The return line must be routed to the fuel tank or to the buffer tank (if fitted).
Note:
The return line must not be connected to the suction line.
For PDE engines, the return line is normally connected to the upper part of the tank. The return line should normally enter above the maximum fuel level. For PDE engines, the return pipe and suction pipe must have the same diameter.
Note:
For XPI engines, the fuel return line should enter below the lowest fuel level in the fuel tank.
The suction line in the fuel tank should be placed at least 50 mm from the bottom of the fuel tank. This distance also applies to the suction strainer.
In multi-engine installations, the fuel system should be divided into at least two independent systems so that a fault in one of the fuel lines does not cause all engines to stop.
The fuel lines should not be made of copper as there is a risk of oxidation due to condensation. The sulphur content in the fuel can also have a negative effect on the copper.
