We often get questions about which diesel should be used in Vetus Diesel engines and whether biodiesel or diesel with added biodiesel can be used.
This is described in your engine manual, but here are the recommendations that apply 01.11.2022

Fuel Quality Grade
Use only diesel fuel or diesel blends with up to 7% FAME (B7), with less
than 0.5% sulphur content of which the quality is fully controlled and
conform the standards below.

The following fuel specifications / standards are approved:

• CEN EN 590:2009
• ASTM D975-09

Don’t use fuel with more than 1% sulfur!
The cetane number must be at least 49.

The exhaust emission levels determined during certification by the supervising authority are always based on the reference fuel described by law. These fuels match the diesel fuels which are in accordance with CEN EN 590 andASTM D 975. Emission levels cannot be guaranteed with o

• The pumps are suitable for 12 V supply only
• They are supplied with a 1.2 m cable as standard
• They are CE compliant and meet the VETUS quality standard

V-Quipment products are thoroughly tested by VETUS and meet our high quality standards. These products are also covered by the VETUS 3-year warranty! 

With the WHT calorifier series, VETUS adds a new meaning to ‘Double Dutch’: this twin coiled calorifier range will double your level on comfort on board when it comes to warm water.

The wireless 4-channel remote control
VETUS adds a remote for thrusters and winches to the line-up: the WRC! With the WRC wireless remote control unit you have total control over your boat, right in the palm of your hand. The set consists of a receiver (WRC) and remote control (WRCKF). The VETUS wireless control hand held remote has a range of 10 to 25 metres depending on the location of the receiver. This ensures easy control of bow thruster, stern thruster and/or windlasses, everywhere on your boat. You can programm up to two different items mentioned on the 4-channel remote.

Freedom to move while staying firmly in control

The WRC is competitively priced compared to the competition. For safety reasons VETUS recommends to install one fixed control panel like the BPAS next to the WRC. The WRC meets with EMC requirements, has a watertight remote and is directly available from stock.

VETUS introduces a new Generator series

VETUS is proud to present their completely new range of marine diesel generator sets.

These new GX generator sets are both reliable and easy to maintain. They are also exceptionally quiet due to the use of the innovative VETUS M-Line engines. These GX generator sets operate at fixed engine speeds. Low speed (1500 rpm) generator sets are recommended for commercial applications, prolonged usage and live-aboard vessels, due to reduced wear rates and lower noise levels. High speed (3000 rpm) generator sets are more suited to leisure applications and make installation possible even in confined spaces, due to their compact dimensions and lower weight. All VETUS marine diesel engines are marinised in-house to meet and exceed the latest standards. They feature specific benefits that are unique to the market. One of the most notable new features of the VETUS M-line engines fitted to sets from 6.5 kVA upwards is the cast aluminium top

The TWINLINEB extraction ventilator: more compact and more powerful at the same time!

This new in-line extraction ventilator from VETUS has a 25% higher capacity than the 76mm version.

With an output of 7m3 per minute, every space can be fully ventilated in no time.

The TWINLINEB is rated ‘ignition protected’ so that even the engine room or spaces where combustible gases are stored can safely be ventilated before starting up other equipment!

In addition, this powerful ventilator has a very compact housing allowing installation in the most confined spaces.

A versatile ventilator suitable for a wide variety of applications!

• Type TWINLINEB in brief:
• Ignition protected to ISO 8846, ideal for application in engine rooms
• Waterproof to IP67
• Complies with ISO 9097 Marine Standard
• Capacity of not less than 7 m3 per minute
• Static pressure: 36 mm H2O
• Very compact dimensions

(R)EVOLUTION! 
VETUS COMMON-RAIL D-LINE ENGINES (122 - 210 HP)

Introducing the next evolution of the D-Line engine range. Lower revolutions, with more power and torque whilst maintaining the famed reliability and durability. The new D-line engines meet the new RCD2013/53/EU emissions regulations and are extremely suitable for power hydraulics on board. Supplied with a CAN bus system with a SAEJ1939 protocol, they also work excellently with NMEA2000 systems on board as well.

The new VETUS D-Line engines now feature an innovative water cooled top cover in order to reduce the heat in the engine room and reduce the engine noise of an already near silent engine block. This top cover is even sturdy enough to be used as a step. Other features that are added to the new D-Line engines are: a new and smaller air filter in order to save space in the engine room; new exhaust manifold insulation; and water heater connections; an electric sump pump and a high o

LGS9075 Gas/water separator

For high-output engines (up to 125 hp)

The VETUS family of gas/water separators is extended with a new member; meet the LGS9075!

This sturdy separator is engineered to fit larger 91 mm exhaust systems. Just like its smaller relatives, this separator is easy to install due to the two 360° rotating hose connections. Mount the separator vertically using the stainless steel bracket and turn the hose connections any way you desire to ensure the best alignment of the hoses.

Rotating hose connections ensure easy installation and cause less stress on the hoses itself.

With a 20 litre capacity and a 51 mm connection, this separator is suitable for engines up to 125 hp. The compact design of the separator makes sure it will fit most boats. The LGS9075 is now available in stores.

Unique features

• Built-in silencer due to the gooseneck design

• Rotating hose connections for

The RIMDRIVE, the silent thruster! 
Do you want a thruster that you cannot hear? 
The latest innovation from VETUS makes this possible!

There are two main reasons why the Rimdrive is silent. Firstly, the propeller forms the rotating part of the electric permanent magnet motor and therefore noisy gears are not used in this design. 

Secondly, a ring mounted around the propeller, prevents the propeller tips from cutting through the water. In other words, it prevents cavitation and noise! The proportional speed control also helps to prevent cavitation.

In contrast with conventional thrusters, the electric motor does not take up much valuable space inside the boat. The propeller forms the rotating part of the electric motor (rotor) and the fixed winding (stator) is mounted in the tunnel. This results in a very compact and self-contained thruster.

The motor control circuitry is mounted on top of the thruster with the significant advantage of

Even for the more experienced skipper, it can be difficult to maneuver the boat in harsh wind conditions and strong currents. With the new line of retractables from VETUS though, anyone can dock and turn a boat even in the smallest of ports!

The latest VETUS innovation - the Retractable - has some big advantages compared to other options in the market. The VETUS Retractable has optimized tunnel ergonomics that will produce more power and less noise and all submerged parts are non-corrosive. This new thruster has optimal side support for generated forces and unique safety combinations like a thruster start protection, overload and jam protection and a safety pin protection for lid overload. It is electronically prepared for communication based on CAN protocol a less intricate design and has fewer moving parts.

The Retractable is light weighted, simple and has a compact robust design that will fit all small possible installation places. For either power or sailboat!
