Fuel Systems

3.1 General

The fuel system of your Pursuit boat is
designed to meet the requirements of the
U.S. Coast Guard, National Marine Manu-
facturers Association (NMMA), and Ameri-
can Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC) in effect
at the time of manufacture.

The fuel system was factory inspected and
pressure tested in accordance with regula-
tions in effect at the time of manufacture. It is
the responsibility of the boat owner to main-
tain the safe condition of the system.

 

Inspect

the system frequently to ensure no deterio-
ration or loosening of connections has
occurred.  

3.2 Fuel System

The outboard fuel system on your Pursuit
has three fuel tanks and a fuel management
system. The fuel manifold is  located in the
mechanical space under the hatch in the
cockpit floor. Fuel flow to the engines is con-
trolled by three four-way valves depending
on engine configuration. The selected tank
is indicated by the position of the point on
the selector valve handle. 

During normal operation, each engine
should be running off of its respective tank
(refer to the photo).  The valves should be
set so that each engine draws fuel from its
respective tank.   If a fuel supply problem
should occur in one of the fuel tanks, any
combination of engines can be temporarily
operated from any tank by opening valves
from that tank.  Operating the boat with all
fuel valves open to the starboard or port tank
should be avoided.  

!

DANGER

FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARD 

Fuel and their vapors are highly explo-
sive when exposed to open flame or
spark, resulting in death or serious
injury. 

Make sure no vapors are present
before turning on electrical equip-
ment or starting engines. 

Make sure fuel is added to the fuel
tank only. DO NOT confuse other
deck fills with fuel fills. 

DO NOT remove anti-siphon
valves from the system. 

Turn off all electrical switches
before servicing the fuel system. 

DO NOT drain any fuel in the bilge. 

Check all fuel lines and fittings for
leaks before and after starting the
engines and after any fuel system
service. 

Prime fuel system and check all fit-
tings for leaks before and after
starting the engines. 

DO NOT block fuel vents. 

DO NOT store fuel in any contain-
ers or compartments not desig-
nated for fuel storage. 

!

NOTICE

Certain bulkhead areas are sealed fol-
lowing U.S. Coast Guard regulations
at the date of manufacture. Any modi-
fications must be in accordance with
the regulations.
