Hello Fissi,
with all due respect to our young friend Enrique, it\'s all in the word \"Tauchbunker\".
Enrique listed the tanks correctly, but evidently does not know the meaning of Tauchbunker. You, speaking German, suspected correctly that these are dual purpose tanks. Boat leaves base with full fuel in those tanks. When consuming fuel out of those tanks, consumed weight is replaced by sea water in the bottom (heavier spec. gravity than oil) in order maintain diving trim.
Cant tell you about poss. mix-up of valve signs. MfG, RB
