Fueling tips

When fueling try not to press the tanks (i.e. fill it to 100% capacity), this will prevent the fuel (diesel or gasoline) from expanding in the tanks (fuel expands with heat) and overflowing. Fuel not only damages the environment once it enters the sea, it can damage the paint when it spills over it through the overflow vents. My engineer recommends leaving a 3ml gap between the fuel and the top of the tanks.
