WHY VETUS FUEL SYSTEMS?

The fuel system on a boat is a VETUS specialty. You don’t have to experience that helpless feeling when an engine unexpectedly
stops at a critical moment. VETUS can provide you with the best products, accessories and tips to keep your engine running
smoothly, ensuring your safety, comfort and compliance with good practise and environmental regulations.

A good working fuel system
Many people are unaware of the problems that water in fuel can cause. Even a small drop of water can be extremely damaging for
the fuel pump, its injectors, filters and engine. Water carries dirt, rust and micro-organism through the narrow pipes into the system
and when trapped, the water becomes a perfect breeding place, resulting in blockage in the fuel pump and additional wear and
tear. Placing a fuel filter / water separator between the tank and the fuel lift pump will prevent damage to the engine and ensures
easy starting and smooth running.

VETUS offers the following types of filters

Spin-on filters
With a maximum capacity from 50 to 121 gallons (190 to 460 litres) per hour, based on a patented fuel flow system in which water is
separated from the fuel before the fuel flows back through the filter element.
Centrifugal filters
With a maximum capacity of 190 up to 951 gallons/hr (720 up to 3600 litres/hr). This modular system can be ordered in combinations
of 2 to 6 filters for engines up to 5000 hp. The fuel inlet and outlet can be configured on the same or the opposite sides.
