Fuel Deck Fill with Key, AISI 316 Stainless Steel (38mm)

Long Description (EN):
This high-quality deck fill is designed to provide a secure and reliable filling point for your boat’s fuel or water tanks. Constructed from marine-grade AISI 316 stainless steel, it offers exceptional resistance to corrosion and harsh marine environments. The unit features a cap with an integrated lock mechanism, opened by a special key (included), which protects your fuel or water supply from contamination and theft.

Variants Available: This deck fill comes in two versions to suit different tank needs – a “Fuel” cap variant for gasoline or diesel tanks, and a “Water” cap variant for fresh water tanks. Both versions share the same robust construction and 38 mm hose connection, with clear labeling on the cap for the intended contents (fuel or water). The locking mechanism is identical on both, ensuring that whether refueling or filling water, you have peace of mind that the tank is secured.

Technical Features: With a standard hose barb diameter of 38 mm (1-1/2"), this deck filler fits common fuel or water hoses used in small and medium-sized boats. The cap seals with a durable rubber O-ring to prevent leaks and water ingress. The stainless steel cap is typically tethered with a chain to the base, preventing it from being lost overboard during filling. Installation is straightforward with pre-drilled countersunk holes on the flange for mounting screws, providing a flush finish on the deck.

Use Cases and Recommendations: The fuel deck fill variant is ideal for motorboats, sailboats, and RIBs in the 5 to 8 meter range, or any vessel with an onboard fuel tank requiring secure deck access. The locking cap is especially useful for boats stored in public marinas or for long-term cruising, as it deters unauthorized fueling and keeps your fuel safe. The water deck fill variant is perfect for fresh water tanks on similar sized boats, ensuring your drinking water supply remains clean and only accessible to you. Overall, this locking deck fill is a smart upgrade for boat owners looking to enhance the safety and security of their onboard fluids.
