F33 Fuel Fillers and Tanks

[DIW]

Can anyone advise please on which fuel filler and tank relates to which fuel gauge ? or how to establish which is which. I can't work it out at all !
Thanks

Presomablly port tank is to port engine and starboard likewise.Maybe I'm being to simplistic!!

the right hand filler is the starboard tank, and so is the right hand guage, or at least it was on mine, a 330, but I am told they are the same configuraton,

when filling up leave ignitions on and you can see which is which.
if not sure then, start an engine and you confirm which is which as dials for that side will register /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Came across a F33, when the owner left one engine running charging the battaries and walked to the club house and have a pint, while there got called back by a very /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gifcross harbour master as fuel was being pumped out into the river.
Turned out the return pipes were cross which ment that fuel was taken out of one tank and pumped into the other and with one engine runnning over flowed one tank while empting then other.
So on a F33 with 2 tanks one in front of other they can be connected in either way.

All Sealines have a fuel transfer system, This allows you to run both engines of either tank, but normally running is each engine runs off its own tank, with the cross over valves closed, there is normally a diagram near the valves that shows you how to change things around if you need to.

aft filler is definitely for port tank and port guage = port tank. Everything else covered already.

Sorry!!!!!!!!! As Phil said.......forward filler (left) is for port tank and port guage.
