What is the purpose of the settling tank in a fuel system and what happens in the tank?

Ship fuel is not fed straight into the main engine, as first of all the HFO (Heavy Fuel Oil) is pumped and then separated into a settling tank (buffer tank). The settling tank is connected to the service tank (day tank). This service tank is filled via a continuous overflow from the settling tank and is also connected with the main engine. The oil is heated in both the settling and service tank to make sure that an even temperature of between +75°C and +90°C (or +167°F and +194°F) is maintained, as this keeps the heavy fuel oil (HFO) at a consistency that can be pumped easily.

Should septic tank inlet be above top of liquid?

Yes, it should. If the liquid level in the first settling tank has risen above the inlet, then that tank's outlet to the field or secondary tank has become plugged. Look into the end of the tank furthest away from house and see if you can see the outlet pipe and what is plugging it. Further away from this outlet, the pipe will enter a distribution box, try to find this and if water is not flowing into it, 'snake' it towards the tank.
