Can anyone advise how to get to the location of the port side fuel tank please. I am especially looking for the tank level sensor.

( when tanks are full it only ever reads 81%. - the starboard was the same - but that was a simple fix by lifting the small floor plate and pushing the sensor plunger down - just need to do the same on the port tank once I find it!

Hello Dom,

the port fuel tank is at the same location in the boat, just mirrored by the longitudinal axes. I.e. under the floorboard between stove and the middle console.

Hope this helps,
Mark

Thanks Mark,I’ll have another attempt at finding it on my next trip. (if only they had build in an inspection hatch, I have not tried lifting the floorboard on the port side, as it looks a bit locked in place by the kitchen and TV centre piece).

Hi Dom,
have you tried to access the port fuel tank?

And if yes, how complex was the deinstallation of the TV centre piece?
