Tayana TAYANA-48 Owner's Manual - Water and Bacteria

Your TAYANA 48DS has one fuel filler. It is flush mounted 

deck plates, located on stern of starboard side.   

NOTE： 

When you fill the fuel tank, check carefully to ensure 

that fuel does overflow through the vent when full. 

Only use the clean, high quality diesel fuels that are 

specified in your engine manual. Diesel fuel must be 

clean and free from contamination. Fuel tank and 

stored fuel must be inspected regularly for dirt, 

water and bacteria 

Fuel Filters 

Each main engine and generator supplied has fuel filter. All of 

the filters function primarily as water separator trapping moisture 

that may enter or condense in the fuel tanks. 

They should be checked regularly in accordance with the 

Maintenance Schedule. 

NOTE： 

Replacement of the filter will require bleeding of the fuel 

system to vent air, which will enter when the cartridge is 

removed.
