Fuel Tank - Size & other bits

[dcreedon]

Hi, I've a Bavaria 36 2002. 3 Cabin version with a 29HP Volvo Penta 2030. I think I have a 150L Diesel Tank it has a 150D marking on it. See attached picture. Can anyone confirm it's a 150L tank ?  Also the two nozzels? next to the feed and return pipes, anyone using these?

Yes, 150l and 150l water on the other side. Optional 150 water up front.

Thanks, thought so.

you could use the blank nozzles for a eberspacher heater or any other make.

I'm using one of the extra nozzles for a sample pipe that goes to the bottom of the tank, which also doubles as dipping stick to determine the accurate tank level (the gauge is more approximate).

We pump out the dregs from the bottom corner of the wedge-shaped tank every winter with it.

Do the extension pipe's on the fittings exist as standard?  If so are they of different lengths?

Hi decreedon
Not sure about other 36' owners with a 150 litre tank, but after running out of fuel once I now calculate 1.8 litres per hour and my tank at 110 litres to play it safe. My spreadsheet and my calculations haven't let me down. (Engine Volvo MD2030)
