Introduction
This document deals with the installed fuel system as a whole. Fire resistant hoses, non-fire resistant
hoses and permanently installed petrol and diesel fuel tanks are dealt with by ISO 7840:2021,
ISO 8469:2021 and ISO 21487:2022, respectively. These standards are applicable to these products
supplied as components.
Some countries have environmental controls for evaporative emissions from petrol fuel systems, and
this document includes an informative Annex B describing limits and test procedures for the control of
evaporative emissions from permanently installed petrol fuel systems. The details in Annex B allow for
future standardization and application of evaporative emissions on small craft.
As the international community further restricts fuel system emissions, it is anticipated that Annex B
will have increased global acceptance.

encountered under normal operating conditions and storage of the craft.
4.1.2 Each component of the fuel system, and the fuel system as a whole, shall be capable of operation
within an ambient temperature range of − 40 °C to + 80 °C, without failure or leakage.
NOTE Thermoplastic tanks and components can be affected by high return fuel temperature. It is therefore
important to read the engine installation manual for information.
4.1.3 All materials used in the fuel system shall be resistant to deterioration by its designated fuel and
to other liquids or compounds with which it may come into contact under normal operating conditions,
e.g. grease, lubricating oil, bilge solvents and sea water.
4.1.4 Petrol engine compartments, petrol tank compartments and compartments with joints or
fittings in fuel lines connecting spark-ignition engines with their fuel tanks shall have ventilation and
ignition protection in accordance with ISO 11105:2020 and ISO 8846:1990.
4.1.5 The only outlets for drawing fuel from the fuel system shall be
— plugs in petrol filter bowls intended solely for the purpose of servicing the filter;
— plugs or valves in diesel filter bowls intended solely for the purpose of servicing the filter.
NOTE Tank openings are covered by ISO 21487:2022.
ISO 10088:2022(E)
4.1.6 Any metal or metallic plated component of a petrol tank and its filling system that is in contact
with petrol shall be grounded so that its resistance to the craft’s ground is less than 1 Ω.
Grounding wires shall not be installed between a hose and its clamps.
4.1.7 Fuel filling systems shall be designed to avoid spillage of fuel during refuelling to the rated
capacity. Fuel systems shall be tested in accordance with 4.2.3.
4.1.8 Provision shall be made to prevent fuel overflow from the vent opening while refuelling from
entering the interior of the craft or the water.
NOTE A substance is “entering the interior of the craft”, when it gets into a place being inside the surface
of the watercraft. This can be the cabin or a similar place not being open to the atmosphere having one or more
closing appliances used to cover an opening in the cockpit, hull or superstructures.
4.1.9 All fuel system components in engine compartments (e.g. filters, pumps, water separators
and hoses) – excluding permanently installed fuel tanks, which are tested in accordance with
ISO 21487:2022 – shall individually, or as installed in the craft, be capable of withstanding a 2,5 min fire
test as specified in Annex C.
Fasteners supporting metal fuel lines constitute an exception to this requirement.
4.1.10 Copper-base alloy fittings may be used for aluminium tanks if protected by a galvanic barrier to
reduce galvanic corrosion.
4.1.11 A means to determine the level or quantity of fuel in the tank shall be provided.
4.2 Testing
4.2.1 After installation, the fuel system as a whole shall pass the pressure test specified in Annex A.
4.2.2 Small components of the fuel system (e.g. filters, pumps, water separators and hoses), required
to be fire tested according to 4.1.9, shall be tested as specified in ISO 7840:2021, Annex A, with the
lower part mounted 250 mm above the surface of liquid in a pan of which the sides extend beyond the
