The internal fuel system on your Chaparral boat meets all current Federal
requirements.
Fuel lines, fi lters, and all fuel system components should be checked
at the start of each season and periodically thereafter, particularly after
any work has been done aboard the boat which might have affected any
part of the system. Be certain that all are in proper condition and that the
entire system is fuel tight.
The fuel tank is located forward of the engine compartment under the
cockpit fl oor. The fuel tank fi ll pipe is located on the outside deck. Some
models have a dual fuel system, providing convenience and fl exibility of
refi lling your fuel tank from either side of the boat.
The fuel tank vent allows air to escape as the tank is being fi lled and
helps equalize tank pressure as temperatures change. The tank has an
anti-siphon valve which keeps fuel from leaking into the boat in case of
fuel line breaks.
Periodically, check the condition of the fuel tank components. Fuel tank
fi ttings are accessible through the inspection plate of the cockpit fl oor.
Note: The fuel fi ll cap has a built in tank ventilation feature If you
should need to replace the cap, see your Chaparral dealer for the
exact cap to ensure proper fuel system operation.
Fuel Recommendations:
The quality of the fuel is very important for satisfactory engine per- for-
mance and long engine life. Fuel should be clean and free of contamina-
tion. Your fuel tanks should be kept full of fuel whenever possible. This
will reduce the amount of water condensation and reduce the possibility
of contamination.
FRESHWATER SYSTEM
Some models have a non-pressurized water system as standard equip-
ment and a pressurized system as optional. The fresh water system pro-
vides water from an onboard storage tank.
On some models, the fresh water tank is fi lled through the fi ll plate on the
side of the deck. The vent allows air to enter and escape as water levels
change. Fill the tank only with potable water. Using and refi lling the tank
frequently keeps drinking water fresh and clean.
