## ⚙️ Key Features

-   OEM Volvo Penta part number 21680974
-   System group: Fuel System
-   Net weight 0.043 kg
-   Listed for 38 engine applications
-   Fits D series marine diesel engines

## 🔌 Function

Retains, covers or spaces a fuel system component in its designed position, maintaining correct clearance or clamping at the joint. Its thickness and shape are what set that relationship.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Distortion from over-tightening, leaving an uneven clamping face
-   Cracking around a fastener hole
-   Corrosion or fuel staining at the joint face
-   Fasteners repeatedly loosening
-   Fuel weeping where clamping has been lost

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Compare the new plate with the one you take off for thickness, hole pattern and orientation before fitting; many plates will bolt up more than one way but only one is right
-   Clean both mating faces and remove all old gasket or sealant residue without scoring the metal
-   Renew any gasket, seal or O-ring disturbed while the plate is off rather than reusing it
-   Draw the fasteners down evenly, in stages and in the sequence and to the figures given in the workshop manual for your engine
