FUEL SPLASH-STOP

Overflowing fuel or foam collector
Type FSA
The fuel Splash-stop is connected right under the deck filler plate to ensure that overflowing
fuel or foam cannot flood onto the deck. The excess diesel* or petrol fuel is collected in a
parallel hose which functions as a reservoir, returning the fuel back into tank.
The capacity of the reservoir is determined by the length and diameter of the hose
(see 3 types below). Always choose the largest reservoir possible, with a maximum of
0.58 gallons (2,2 litres). The housing and hose connection are made of anodized aluminium.
The fill and vent lines, hose clamps and a matching stainless steel (AISI 316) deck entry should
be ordered separately. The fuel Splash-Stop meets all the latest CE (ISO 10088) and ABYC
standards.

VETUS Splash-Stop model FS is directly connected to a deck entry plate (1), with a diameter of 1 /2” (38 mm) or 2” ➁
1
(51 mm) (optional equipment).
It ensures that overflowing diesel fuel or foam will not come out of the deck entry - soiling your deck and polluting the ➃
water, but will be neatly caught inside the reservoir (with a capacity of approx. 2 litres). Excessive fuel will flow back into
the main tank through connection (2).
This connection also serves as the necessary tank ventilation. The breather line to outside is to be installed to
connection (3).
A VETUS diesel smell filter may be installed into this breather line as well. If the diesel smell filter is positioned well
above the deck, the breather line may exit below the deck level, if so required. FS is supplied with connections for
Ø 1 /2” (38 mm) or for Ø 2” (51 mm) fuel filling hose (4).
