ISO-compliant tank inspection ports


Total systems supplier VETUS has introduced two new ISO- compliant tank inspection ports. Featuring enhanced lid design and glass fibre reinforcement, the ILT120B and ILT120X both meet ISO small craft standards for permanently installed fuel systems and petrol/diesel fuel tanks. ISO 21487, the standard for fuel


tanks, includes a stringent fire test and sets specific measurements for the fuel tank’s inspection lid to minimise the possibility of fuel contamination. As installed on a fuel tank, the ILT120 (B and X) each complies with ISO 10088, the standard for fuel systems. Suitable for use with certified


VETUS tanks, including built-in metal tanks, to create a fully compliant system, the universal ports are successors to the large


interior whilst maintaining the connections. Both models have a counter flange and a rubber seal which are inserted into a 159 mm hole in the tank, with the recommended VSAW159 hole saw available separately. The four supplied bolts are tightened to compress the rubber seal to ensure perfect sealing. With an internal aperture of 120


ILT120 inspection port for bio-diesel fuel, fresh water and waste-water tanks. The inspection ports benefit from a unique clamp-and-seal design,


Reefing hook


A sturdy tool for removing caulk or other flexible materials such as sealants from a seam is made by Teakdecking Systems Inc of Florida. A razor knife should be used to free the caulk from the sides of the


seam. The TDS reefing hook can then be used to quickly remove most of the caulking, leaving minimal material for final hand- sanding. Specially designed to give a long service life, the reefing hook is of


stainless steel construction and has been fitted with a comfortable rubber handle for ease of use.
