corrosion protection and should be checked for its strength before winter lay-up.

8. FUEL SYSTEM

8.1 Fuel Tank

The fuel tank is filled via a deck filling plate marked "Fuel" on the starboard side alongside the

cockpit. After filling ensure that the plate is screwed in firmly to prevent any water seepage into

the fuel. The fuel withdrawal exits from the top of the tank on the centre line. A tank vent is

installed with the pipe connected to a 90° vent elbow through the hull at the top of the transom.

The fuel supply is piped to the engine via a primary CAV Filtrap 120 Sedimenter filter. The

secondary filter is engine mounted. The sedimenter filter is designed to trap the larger solid

particles and water droplets, and should be drained off periodically through the drain plug in the

base. For instructions on bleeding the fuel system, refer to the Westerbeke Technical Manual,

page 13 or pages 13, 14 and 15 in Westerbeke 33 Operator's Manual, and detail No. 17. On

more recent models, a Groco water separator is used and is engine mounted.

8.2 Fueling

Extinguish all open flames aboard the yacht before opening the fuel inlet cap No person should

be smoking and all electrical circuits including the main electrical switch should be turned off.

The fuel hose nozzle must be touching the metal deck plate to ground static electricity. After

completion of the refuelling, close the inlet cap tightly and wash down any spills with fresh

water. Open all hatches and operate the blower for at least five minutes. An air vent is located

on the transom which connects to the fuel tank. (see detail No. 17)

8.3 Fuel Grade

For the CS 36 use number 2 diesel fuel.

8.4

If the fuel tank is kept topped up, condensation in the tank will be minimized.

9. ELECTRICAL

9.1 General

The yacht is wired for both 12V and 110V systems.

Wiring harnesses and connections, including the main switch panel, are installed as high in the

interior of the yacht as possible, reducing the exposure to water. See wiring diagram of your

commissioning set. See also Diagrams No. 26 (white print), No. 14 and No. 15 of the mast

lighting system and VHF hook-up.
