Fuel System
Fuel Fill and Vent
•
The fuel fill/vent fitting is marked “GAS”.
•
If you experience difficulty filling the fuel
tank, check to see if the fuel fill hose is
kinked or collapsed. If there are no visible
signs of a problem, contact your
local dealer.
Fuel Filters
•
The fuel pickup tube (located inside the
fuel tank) is equipped with a fine mesh
screen filter.
•
In addition, when supplied by the engine
manufacturer, a fuel filter is installed on
the engine.
•
Periodically replace the fuel filters to make
sure they remain clean and free of debris.
•
Talk to your selling dealer or local marina
about fuel additives that help prevent fun-
gus or other buildup in your fuel tank.
Anti-siphon Valve
•
Your boat is equipped with an anti-siphon valve, which is an integral part of fuel system.
•
The valve is located at the point where the fuel feed line attaches to the fuel tank.
•
The valve is spring loaded and is opened by fuel pump vacuum.
•
This valve will prevent fuel from siphoning from the tank in the event of a fuel line rupture.
FIRE, EXPLOSION AND OPEN FLAME HAZARD!
•
It is very important that the fuel system be inspected thoroughly the first time it is filled and
at each subsequent filling.
•
The fueling instructions in the Sport Boat Owner’s Manual and the fuel recommendations in
the engine operation manual must be followed.

If an engine running problem is diagnosed as fuel starvation, check the anti-siphon valve. If
the valve is stuck or clogged, change or replace it while the engine is shut down.
•
NEVER run the engine with the anti-siphon valve removed, except in an emergency.
