Putting On Fuel And Water - Bayliner Lateriser Operation & Inventory Manual

4. PUTTING ON FUEL AND WATER

Fueling:
Fuel the boat BEFORE the tanks reach one-third full whenever possible. The diesel
fuel fill ports are located on each side of the boat just forward of the deck.
Make certain that you have properly identified the diesel fill cap prior to opening it for
fuel. NOTE that there is also a waste tank cap and
NEVER fill the water tank and the fuel tanks at the same time and DO NOT remove any cap
until you are ready to fill that tank. Take all precautions necessary to avoid allowing any
water to enter the fuel tank!
NOTE: Always fill the fuel tanks only with clean, #2 Diesel Fuel oil.
To avoid spills and/or overfilling of the fuel tanks, always be attentive to the fueling
procedure. Listen carefully to the sound of the fuel entering the tank. There will be a
noticeable change in the pitch of the sound as the tank is nearing full. Fill the remainder of
the tank cautiously. A drop or two of fuel out of the overflow vent should be all that is
allowed. Always have an absorbent pad handy while fueling to immediately clean up any
inadvertent overflow. Clean any residual fuel off the deck and side of the hull (from
overflow vent) with soap and water (BE SURE FUEL CAP HAS BEEN SECURELY
REPLACED.)
POTABLE WATER SUPPLY:
The water tank holds 100 gallons, with the fill being located on the starboard side. This is
enough for several days of use if used very sparingly. It is advised that you fill the tank
every day that water is available. On days that water is not available, monitor the water tank
level on the gauge, located in the electrical panel. Press the rocker switch to activate the
monitor. Always be cautious of conserving your fresh water. Fresh water is often the item in
shortest supply.
